Abstract
This was conducted to analyse the chemical composition of Kanwa-based mineral blocks.Analysis of thechemical composition of all the sources ofKanwa-based mineral blocks used in this research was carried out at the Sokoto Energy Research Centre, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto. The Kanwa used were Kanwan Bai-Bai, Kanwan Kolo, Hogga, Balma and conventional mineral lick to represent treatment 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. The data obtained from the laboratory report are presented as it is. The result of the survey shows that 94.17% of the respondents offer Kanwa to their animals. Majority use Balma (32.74%), other types of Kanwa used by the respondents includeBurunguzu(9.73%), Table salt (19.47%), Hogga(5.3%) and Jan gishiri(0.88%). The result of the analysis of different types of Kanwa shows that T1 (Kanwan Bai-Bai) had higher amount of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Iron, Chromium and Manganese.
