“…Similar to the present findings, Hackbart et al (2010) [30] observed increase in milk production at 14 week supplementation of organic trace minerals to cattle. This finding was in line with Akila et al (2013) [31] and Senthilkumar et al (2015) [32] who were reported that supplementation of TANUVASmineral mixture to a dairy cattle resulted in increase in milk yield by 1.46± 0.14 and one litre per day in cow respectively. Singh et al (2016) [33] observed significantly higher (p<0.05) milk production in supplemented animal with mineral mixture.…”

Nutrients requirement plays a very crucial role in regulating biological systems, immunological, health, lactation and reproductive performance in dairy cattle.Therefore, the present study was conducted to assess the effect of area specific mineral mixture supplementation on milk yield, reproductive performance and economic of dairy cattle for a period of 120 days. Experimental animals were selected randomly from four villages of Dima Hasao district of Assam. Twenty lactating crossbred cattle (n=20) were divided into two groups (10 milch cows/group) viz., treatment (T2-supplement of 50gm mineral mixture/cattle/day) and control (T1-no supplementation) in a completely randomized designed. Results revealed significant (P<0.05) improvement in milk yield by 1.36 litre per day (18.68%), reproductive performance and benefit cost ratio (3.55 vs 3.11) in the studied. Thus, mineral mixture supplementation in the diet of dairy cattle gave better results in improving milk yield and reproductive efficiency for sustainability livelihood in smallholders' dairy farming in hilly regions.

“…Among the three treatments considered, Treatment 3 (T3) demonstrated significant benefits in terms of milk production (kg/day), milk production per unit, net return (profit) in Rs./Buffalo, and benefit-cost ratio (BCR). This aligns with findings reported by Akila et al (2013) [1] , reinforcing the efficacy of Treatment 3.…”

Livestock production serves as a primary source of income for all livestock owners, encompassing various ventures. Animal husbandry practices, with a particular emphasis on nutrition, play a pivotal role in ensuring optimal animal production and reproduction. In buffalo rearing among rural farmers in the adopted village of Rajkot district, it has been observed that inadequate nutrition significantly contributes to low live weight, infertility, and diminished milk yields. Addressing these issues, a technology demonstration was conducted, focusing on the feeding regimen of combining fodder with concentrate and mineral mixture for buffalo. This initiative aimed to enhance the overall wellbeing of the livestock and improve the economic prospects for the rural farmers. The identification of low milk production in buffalo was carried out using the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method in the adopted rural village of Rajkot district, Gujarat. Over the period of three years (2015-2017), three different treatments were tested. Among these, Treatment-3 (T3) emerged as the most beneficial, showcasing positive outcomes in terms of daily milk production (kg/day), milk production per unit, net return (profit) in Rs./local buffalo breed, and a higher benefit-cost ratio (BCR). The feeding method involving a combination of fodder, concentrate, and mineral mixture is recommended to be implemented on a larger scale for improved growth and increased livestock production. The success of implementing these feeding practices in the rural adopted village can be attributed to the exhaustive efforts made by KVK Pipalia. The dissemination of knowledge and effective technology transfer was achieved through various means, including trainings, field-level demonstrations (FLDs), on-farm trials (OFTs), and other extension activities such as field visits, diagnostic visits, and animal health camps. These efforts collectively aim to elevate animal production and enhance the income of dairy farmers in the region.
