The present investigation was carried out to determine the molybdenum (Mo) status of blood plasma and milk of lactating cows at the Livestock Experimental Station, Khizer abad, Sargodha, Pakistan. Blood and milk from the lactating cows were sampled periodically after every month during winter so as to examine the effect of sampling intervals on Mo as well as its transfer from various dietary sources to animals during the whole investigation period. The Mo contents of blood plasma and milk except some instances during the study coincided nearly with their respective critical levels.

The present investigation was carried out to determine the molybdenum (Mo) status of soil and forage at the Livestock Experimental Station, Khizer abad, Sargodha, Pakistan. This site falls under semiarid climatic conditions. Soil and forage samples were collected on a monthly basis during the winter season (from October through January) and analyzed after wet digestion to determine the effect of sampling intervals on Mo content as well as its transfer from soil to forage during the whole study period.

The present investigation on the iron (Fe) transfer from soil to plant and in turn to animal (cows), as a function of sampling periods was conducted at the Livestock Experimental Station Sargodha, Pakistan which falls under semi-arid conditions. Although the iron transfer from soil to forage increased consistently, the forage Fe content decreased progressively with increase in sampling period. Highest Fe transfer from forage to cow blood plasma was observed during October and lowest during January.
