Abstract

  Overtime the nutritional requirements of animals changes due to a lot of factors which makes it imperative for consistent re-evalution, research and technological advancements of animal feeds to meet up with these changes. Nutrition takes 60%-70% of cost of production and highly essential for performance and well being of the animals while other factors like health, water source, environment also play a role. To maintain a balance, premix plays an important role in meeting the ever changing nutritional demands of animals for improved performance.
