Mineral status of Soil, Feed and Fodder for Dairy Animals in different Agro-climatic Zones in INDIA Mayank Tandon National Dairy Research Institute Karnal, Haryana
Soil Plant Relationship Animal
Minerals Required by the Dairy Animal(Under wood, 1981) MACRO Minerals: Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Chlorine, Sulphur MICRO Minerals: Iron, Zinc, Copper, Cobalt, Iodine, Manganese, Molybdenum, Chromium, Fluorine, Selenium Recently added in list: Arsenic, Nickel, Silicon, Vanadium, Tin, Aluminium, Lead & Rubidium.
Emerging Nutrient Deficiencies in soils as a Result of Increased Food Production (Swarup & Ganeshamurthy, 1998)
Region-wise Fertilizer Use, Nutrient Removal and Gap(kg/ha)(Swarup & Ganeshamurthy, 1998)
Different Agro-climatic Zones Are 15 :Planning Commission (1992), GOI Broadly are 5(4): Eastern,Western,Northern, Southern, (Central)
Extent of Soil Micronutrient deficiency in Various States of India (Singh, 2001)
Cont……(Indian soils ranged: 0.2-6.9mg(0.87) Zn, 0.1-8.2mg(2.1) Cu, 0.8-196mg(19) Fe, 0.2-118mg(21) Mn/kg soil)
PHOSPHORUS fertility status of soils of Indian stats(Motsara, 2002)
INDIA Soils are Deficient : 42 % P, 40 % S 47 % Zn, 4.8 % Cu, 11.5 % Fe, 4 % Mn, 20 % B, 18 % Mo (Tripathi, 2003; Motsara, 2002; Biswas, et al., 2004)
Mineral status of Feeds and Fodder in Northern Region of India (mean values)
Other Minerals • MAGNESIUM: (<0.20% of DM) • Gujarat: Mg levels in feed stuffs is adequate( 0.39%) • (Garg, 2002) • Roughages are poor to moderate in NE and Karnataka. • (Saha et al., 1997; Gowda et al;2002) • Haryana and Punjab are also poor to good. • (Singhal and Mudgal, 1984; Chopra and Hooda, 2002) • SULPHUR: (<0.20% of DM) • Rajasthan; Grains(0.16), Straws(0.13) are low. • (Garg et al., 2003) • Gujarat is normal to good (0.18-0.4) • (Garg, 2002)
COBALT: (0.1ppm) Adequate Cobalt in Northern and Western Region (Singh and Chhabra, 1994; Garg et al., 1999) Assam forages contain less. (Barauh et al., 1999) In Haryana almost all the cultivated fodders, grasses and tree leaves contain Appreciable amount of Cobalt (Singhal and Mudgal, 1984) IODINE: (0.05-0.8 ppm) In, India hilly regions of Himalayas and Vindhyachal and Northern region is deficient. (Pailan and Singhal, 2003) In Haryana I status is as; Soil ( 0.10 ppm on DM), Berseem (0.70), Oats, ( 0.9), Jowar (0.67), Maize (1.1), Wheat straw (1.24)and Water (0.003 ppm) (Chopra et al., 2003)
SELENIUM: (0.2-0.3 ppm) Gujarat is well above (0.2-0.8 ppm) (Patel and Mehta, 1970) Punjab high (up to 6.6 ppm) (Dhillon, 1972) Haryana, Punjab and Western UP in normal to high (Degnala)(Datt and Chhabra, 2004)CHROMIUM ( 0.2 – 4.5 ppm) Chromium were present in a few fodders but the tree leaves were free from it (Haryana) (Singhal and Mudgal, 1984) CADMIUM In Haryana agro-industrial byproducts, fodders, grasses and tree leaves were either free or had very low level (Singhal and Mudgal, 1984)
CONCLUSION Yes, there is need of Area Specific Mineral Mixtures.
