To assess the effect of supplementary feeding of urea molasses multi-nutrient blocks (UMMB) enriched with area- specific mineral mixture on body weight gain, haematology and mineral status, 12 growing Beetal cross goats were divided into Gr I (control) and II (UMMB supplemented @ 50g/day). The difference in body weight was not significantly different between Gr.I and Gr.II. Non-significant changes were observed in haemoglobin and packed cell volume. Significant (P<0.05) improvement was observed in phosphorus, magnesium and zinc levels in supplemented group.
