About Mineral Mixture in cattle feed
A compounded mineral mixture is a blended supplement containing calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, sulphur, zinc, copper, manganese, iron, cobalt, iodine, and selenium in the ratios and forms cattle can absorb. It is the single most cost-effective supplement in Indian dairy — daily supplementation of 100-200 grams typically lifts milk yield 5-15%, improves fertility, prevents silent heats, reduces mastitis, and prevents deficiency-driven disorders like milk fever and pica.
The NDDB (National Dairy Development Board) publishes a reference formula that has become the de-facto Indian standard for mineral mixture composition. Reputable brands — Amul Minmix, Godrej Vestamin, Cargill Provimi, Kemin — all publish Certificates of Analysis matching or exceeding the NDDB spec. Cheap unbranded mineral mixtures often skip the trace minerals (zinc, copper, cobalt, iodine, selenium) and load up on calcium and salt — enough to look right on the bag but not enough to fix the deficiencies that cause reproductive and lactation problems.
Mineral mixture prices in India range widely: ₹80-120/kg for basic macro-mineral blends, ₹140-200/kg for full NDDB-spec mixtures with trace minerals, and ₹200-350/kg for premium chelated (organic-mineral) blends. For most Indian dairies, a mid-tier full-spec mixture at ₹140-180/kg gives the best cost-benefit. Buying the cheapest option is almost always a false economy — cows show it in the milk pail.

Frequently asked questions about Mineral Mixture
What is the price of mineral mixture per kg in India?
Mineral mixture wholesale prices range from ₹80-120/kg for basic blends to ₹140-200/kg for full NDDB-spec mixtures with trace minerals. Premium chelated (organic-mineral) versions cost ₹200-350/kg. The live price on this page reflects a representative rate for a standard NDDB-spec mineral mixture. Always check the Certificate of Analysis, not just the price.
How much mineral mixture should I give my dairy cow daily?
Standard dose is 50-100 g/day for dry cows and growing heifers, 100-150 g/day for medium-yielders (up to 15 L/day), and 150-200 g/day for high-yielders (above 15 L/day) and lactating buffaloes. Mix into the concentrate or top-dress with a small amount of jaggery/molasses to make it palatable. Splitting into two feedings improves absorption. Salt (30-50 g/day) is separate — do not skip salt because you are giving mineral mixture.
How do I know if I am buying a good mineral mixture?
Four checks. First, the bag must specify guaranteed levels for all macro and trace minerals (not just calcium and phosphorus). Second, the label should say 'complies with BIS IS:1664' or 'NDDB spec' — vague terms like 'premium quality' mean nothing. Third, ask the dealer for a Certificate of Analysis for the batch you are buying. Fourth, colour and texture — a good mineral mixture is a slightly warm off-white to light beige, powdered evenly, not lumpy. Cheap mixtures often look dull grey (over-oxidised) or contain visible salt crystals (padded with cheap NaCl).
