Abstract

4 fresh and 8 dry fodders were analysed for their Mo and Zn contents. Mo content in fresh fodder was highest (2.55 ppm) in fresh lucerne and lowest (1.06 ppm) in sorghum. Maize stover had the highest (0.88 ppm) and Paspalum scrobiculatum straw the lowest (0.19 ppm) Mo values among the dried fodders. Fresh herbage of Pennisetum purpureum X P. americanum contained the highest (37.19 ppm) and lucerne the lowest (19.91 ppm) amounts of Zn. Sorghum and P. scrobiculatum straw contained 37.03 and 36.99 ppm Zn, respectively. The lowest Zn content was in pasture grass hay (5.88 ppm) and straw of Panicum miliaceum (7.88 ppm).
