Abstract
The essencial elemental composition of natural potash deposits obtained in Yusufari Local Government Area of Yobe state has been determined. The samples were obtained in three areas namely; Madukuri, Kotufa and Kirba. The highly concentrated essential elements were potassium followed by sodium. K distribuhtion showed; Madukuri (9625±2.5 to 18035±2.2 mg/kg), Kotufa (855±1.5 to 12493±3.1 mg/kg) and Kirba (11472±2.9 to 25436±3.2 mg/kg). Na distribution showed; Madukuri (3751±1.6 to 5368±1.3 mg/kg), Kotufa (3625±1.9 to 3912±1.8 mg/kg) and Kirba (3535±2.1 to 5535±3.2 mg/kg). The next essential components were Ca followed by Mg. Ca distribution showed; Madukuri (554±0.9 to 885±1.1 mg/kg), Kotufa (448±1.7 to 933±1.5 mg/kg) and Kirba (603±1.4 to 828±1.4 mg/kg). Mg distribution showed; Madukuri (53.4±0.8 to 58.5±0.5 mg/kg), Kotufa (57.4±0.05 to 58.8±0.2 mg/kg) and Kirba (53.4±0.8 to 58.5±0.5 mg/kg). The levels of essential component decrease in the order as K >> Na >> Ca> Mg. The level of essential element found in potash may complement of the requirement of these elements in animal nutrition on consumption.
