A survey was carried out in ten villages of Dantiwada taluka of the Banaskantha district which are adopted by Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, to know the macro and micro-minerals status in feeds and fodders by samples at random. The samples were analysed for macro minerals, calcium and phosphorus with micro minerals cupper, manganese and zinc.
