Abstract

The experiment was carried out to study the effect of TANUVAS mineral mixture supplementation on the milk yield and milk composition of cross bred dairy cattle in Tiruppur district of Tamil Nadu. One hundred cross bred cattle were selected for the experiment in five different villages of Tiruppur district and divided into two equal groups. Control group animals were fed as per farmers’ practice and without addition of mineral mixture whereas animals from treatment group were fed with supplementary feeding of TANUVAS mineral mixture @ 50 g/day/cow for a period of 60 days. Milk samples were collected and milk composition viz fat and solid not fat were analysed for control and treatment group. Cattle supplemented with TANUVAS mineral mixture showed increased milk yield of 1.45 litre per day. The fat and solid not fat increased to 1.21 and 0.67 per cent.
