Sample of concentrate mixture and roughages offered to the animals were collected, pooled and analyzed for proximate composition, neutral Detergent Fibre and Acid Detergent Fibre. The present investigation revealed that the nutrient composition of provided feed supplements is not up to the satisfaction for sustenance of good health and optimum productivity of dairy animals of the district.
