    Effect of strategic dietary supplementation of calcium, copper and manganese on growth, nutrient utilization, productive performance and blood profile in cattle
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2008-08) Sharma, Jyoti; Anil Kumar
    The present study was conducted in two phases. In phase I the work was planned to know the effect of supplementation of area deficient minerals in four villages of Pithoragarh and Nainital district (Hill zone) of Uttarakhand, on milk production, reproductive status, blood biochemical parameters and minerals profile in blood serum of animals. Ten growing and ten lactating animals selected from each village were provided 250 g feed (mineral) mixture daily as top dressed over and above the ration fed to the animals for the period of two months to lactating animals and three months to growing animals to supply 40 g of minerals containing calcium 10 g (38.3 g dicalcium phosphate), copper 96 mg (0.4 g CuSO4.5H2O) and manganese 320 mg (1.3 g MnSO4.4H2O) in Pithoragarh tehsil, whereas in Haldwani tehsil feed (mineral) mixture was supplemented to supply copper 96 mg/d (0.4 g CuSO4.5H2O). The improvement in incidence of anoestrous and repeat breeding was 66.6 and 33.3 per cent and 50 and 66.6 per cent, in Pithoragarh and Haldwani tehsils, respectively. Average milk yield was increased from 4.78 to 5.32 (0.54 litres) in Pithoragarh tehsil and 3.84 to 4.22 (0.38 litres) in Haldwani tehsil. The growth rate of the calves had showed constant improvement, which indicated good health status of animals. In both tehsils the SGPT and SGOT activities, total protein and globulin increased significantly and reached to normal range, whereas, cholesterol concentration (mg/dl) decreased significantly in all categories of animals. Blood serum copper concentration increased significantly and was above the critical level. Calcium concentration in blood serum of all categories of animals was increased significantly and reached above the critical level in Pithoragarh tehsil due to dietary supplementation of calcium, copper and manganese. In phase II, a growth trial was conducted on sixteen crossbred growing heifers (average body weight 149 kg and age 12-16 months) divided into four groups of four each. The experimental feed (mineral) mixture provided to heifers of groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 60 g without calcium, copper and manganese, 100 g containing dicalcium phosphate and copper sulphate to supply 11 g Ca and 60 mg Cu/animal/d, 60 g containing copper sulphate and manganese sulphate to supply 60 mg Cu and 100 mg Mn/animal/d and 100 g containing dicalcium phosphate, copper sulphate and manganese sulphate to supply 11 g Ca, 60 mg Cu and 100 mg Mn/animal/d, respectively. The average daily dry matter intake, daily TDN intake, TDN intake per 100 kg body weight, daily body weight gain and total body weight gain were higher in heifers of groups 2 and 4 supplemented with calcium and copper, however, TDN intake per kg metabolic body weight was significantly higher in groups 2,3 and 4 compared to control. The average DCP intake in heifers of groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 was 0.65, 0.69, 0.68 and 0.69 kg, respectively. The digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract and crude fibre was significantly higher in heifers of group 2, 3 and 4 compared to control group. The SGPT and SGOT activities, total protein, globulin, phosphorus and copper concentration were significantly higher and within normal range, whereas cholesterol and glucose concentrations (mg/dl) were significantly lower in mineral supplemented groups compared to control group. It concluded that dietary supplementation of calcium, copper and manganese in cattle is inevitable at field level in hilly regions of Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand for improvement in reproductive performance and better persistency in the milk production, improving growth and maintenance of animal health. Similarly, for Haldwani region copper supplementation in the diet of dairy animals is necessary. Dietary supplementation of calcium, copper and manganese in cattle is beneficial for improving the nutrient digestibility and utilization and to maintain the blood biochemical constituents and mineral status under field as well as farm conditions.
