o Mixing of copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, magnesium sulfate and cobalt sulfate with water;
- Blending of the above mixture with molasses in metal plates;
- Mixing of all ingredients in electrically operated mixer;
- Shaping in manually operated forming machine;
- Drying in ambient temperature for about 24 hours; and
- Storing for delivery.
