Balance ration is prime requirement of modern dairy farm and their excretion in manure have a major impact on green house gasses emission.it has also impact on the crop when the manure is used in the field. This article is technically sound and having well knowledge about the crops which furnished the minerals to the dairy animals and their excretion in the manure. Balance ration lower the green house gasses emission.
