Feed and fodder samples were collected from a village in each taluka of Mehsana district and N:S ratio were estimated. Sulphur content was lowin cotton seed cake, lucerne green, millet grain and wheat grain, giving wider N:S ratios (>10:1), while wheat straw, Sagardan (concentrate mixture), millet straw and local grass had narrower N:S ratio (<10:l). It may be inferred that extra sulphur supplementation is necessary for optimum N:S ratios in the diets of ruminants in Mehsana district of Gujarat state.
