Area Specific mineral mixture:  


Availability of minerals to animals in appropriate quantities is a major factor determining health and productivity. Poor animal performance and reproduction in livestock are associated with micro-mineral deficiencies. Supplementation using an area-specific mineral mixture with highly bio-available mineral salts improves the product life and productivity of animals in the area. The concept of Area Specific mineral mixture supplement is a low input technology giving high value to the users. The technology of supplementation of milch cows with Area Specific Mineral mixture was efficient in keeping the milk production stable by combating heat stress which was evident by low incidences of panting and feed refusals.
