Track 2-1-2: Forage Conservation, Value Addition and Balanced Nutrition

Description

Supplementation of area specific mineral mixture (ASMM) containing Ca, P, Na, Cu, and Zn to producing animals showed noticeable improvement in growth, milk production and reproductive performances. However, there was paucity of information on rumen metabolites and enzymes in animals supplemented with ASMM. Therefore, the present investigation was conducted to study the effect of mineral supplementation (ASMM) on rumen metabolites and enzymes in sheep fed sorghum stover based diets.
