Abstract
A field survey was conducted to collect the first hand information on dairy animal
management practices followed by the dairy animal owners of Patan district of north
Gujarat. Existing feeding management practices were studied through predesigned and
pretested questionnaire from 100 dairy animal owners. As far as feeding of green fodder is
concerned, leguminous and non leguminous fodders used by farmers were 76.00 & 24.00
percent respectively. About 23.00 per cent farmers used to feed merely compounded cattle
feed, while 77.00 percent farmers used mixture of home-made concentrate with compounded
feed. Concentrate feeding was significantly (P<0.01) different with land holding of farmers.
Feeding of mineral mixture was significantly (P<0.01) different among the Talukas.
