摘要: The composition of two macro-minerals (Ca and Na) was examined in soil forages two fields of District Sargodha, Pakistan. During winter summer season, forage samples were collected. In both seasons, Na sufficient and forages. As compared to the Ca levels were considerably higher season. forages, level of deficient than which is essential for livestock growth. pastures, grazing may be deficient these minerals as these pastures are not supplying minerals the ruminants therein. Supplementation necessary to prevent mineral imbalances deficiency diseases livestock.
