Livestock Feeds Secnonal Committee, FAD 5

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Fourth Revisron ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Livestock Feeds Sectional Commrttee had been approved by the Food and Agnculture DIVISion
Council
Minerals play many Important functions In the body and the vital processes In a hvmg organism are dependent
on the presence of vanous minerals In proper proportion Hence, to ensure optimum health and productivrty
m livestock, It IS essential to provide these minerals, whenever necessary, In adequate quantity and propornon
It IS expected that this standard WIll help In the manufacture of minerai mixtures of the required quality for
supplementing ration of livestock directly or through cattle feeds
Thrs standard was first Issued In 1960 when It was based on Patent No 57437 for minerai supplements for
cattle obtained by the then Ministry of Food, Agnculture, Community Development and Cooperation, Government
of India To allow the use of other ingredients and also with a view to making the standard Widely adaptable,
the first revrsron was Issued In 1968 In the first reVISIOn, a provrsion was made for the manufacture of mineral
mixtures Without salt
The third revisron of the standard was brought out With a view to updating the levels of supplements to ensure
that the minerals requirements for cattle are met To take care of the deficiency of magnesium In diets of
livestock, magnesium was Included as a supplement by reducing levels of calcium to some extent In view of
the fact that the levels of 0 03 and 0 04 percent fluorine In Type 1 and Type 2 minerai mixtures respectively
cannot be maintained, and cattle are able to Withstand higher levels, the fluonne levels were accordingly
raised, keeping the safe lrrruts In View The limits for zmc and cobalt were also Increased
In view of growing concern against the use of bovme ongin mgredrents as supplements to ruminants, the
fourth reVISIOn of the standard was considered necessary Besrdes, sulphur being an Important mmeral element,
which was not Included In the minerai mixture so far, and forages being low In sulphur content, ItS mclusion
has been considered In view of Its higher requirements and low levels In forages, level of zmc In minerai
mixture has been further Increased To accommodate these elements and for creating prOVISIOns for overages,
calcium and magnesium levels have been marginally reduced However phosphorus level remains unchanged,
thereby highly bro available source of calcium and phosphorus remain unchanged The hst of sources of
different minerai supplements has also been reviewed
In preparation of thrs standard considerable assistance have been received from Dr Mangat Ram Garg of
National Dairy Development Board, Anand
Fhe Cornposrnon of the Committee responsible for formulation of thrs standard IS given In Annex C
FOI the purpose of decrdrng whether a particular requirement of this standard IS complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off In accordance with
IS 2 1960 'Rules for rounding off numencal values ( revised Y The number of Significant places retained
In the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value In this standard
