Answer

Cattle feed produced by the Milk Unions/ Federations is a balanced source of essential nutrients required for body maintenance, growth and milk production.
It is manufactured using good quality grains, oil cakes/ meals, bran, molasses, com- mon salt, minerals and vitamins. It is comparatively cheaper and highly palatable to the animals.
  1. Cattle feed contains protein, energy, minerals and vitamins required for the growth, maintenance and milk production of animals. It is advantageous to feed extra cattle feed to pregnant animals for proper development of foetus.
  2. It increases reproductive efficiency, milk production as well as fat content of milk.
  3. Growing animals should be fed 1 to 1.5kg of compound cattle feed daily.
  4. Milking animals should be fed 2kg of compound cattle feed for body maintenance and additional 400g to cows and 500g to buffaloes for every litre of milk produced.

One of the forms of a naturally occurring solid compound P is usually used for making the floors of houses. On adding a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to P, brisk effervescence are produced. When 50g of reactant P was heated strongly, than 22g of a gas Q and 28g of a solid R were produced as products. Gas Q is the same which produced brisk effervescence on adding dilute HCl to P. Gas Q is said to cause global warming whereas solid R is used for white-washing.
  1. What is (i) solid P (ii) gas Q, and (iii) solid R.
  2. What is the total mass of Q and R obtained from 50g of P?
  3. How does the total mass of Q and R formed compare with the mass of P taken?
