Abstract:
Mineral deficiencies or imbalances in forages have long been responsible for low productivity and reproductive problems in animals of tropical countries. This is because livestock are dependent largely on forages to obtain their mineral requirements. Hence to meet the requirements of animals through supplementation, scanning of available feeds and fodders for their mineral content is necessary. An effort has been made to review the concentrations of different minerals in feed, fodders, serum and hair.
