Cattle Feed
In Rajasthan, Majority of the dairy farmers are practicing traditional feeding to their dairy animals, farmers are feeding compound cattle feed along with other feed ingredients such as cereal grains, brans, churi & oil cakes to their animals as supplement. In general, farmers are aware about importance of cattle feed but not about quality. There are many cattle feed manufactures are providing cattle feed to farmers but there is no mandatory obligation on suppliers to adhere to bis standards. To keep tab on the price and giving good profit margins to retailers, there is practice of adding cheaper source of protein (Urea) and other non-nutritive fillers to cattle feed among small feed millers. Keeping in mind the prevailing scenario, Ujalaa MPC is quality animal nutrition inputs to its producer members at competitive price. Presently, two products viz.
