ABSTRACT

Most of the periparturient disorders in dairy cattle and buffaloes have been associated with vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Thus supplementation during periparturient period wherein there is heavy demand and drain of nutrients could probably prevent these disorders. Further these problems need to be addressed in light of the region specific requirements.
