Mineral Water and Soil Composition Analysis for Cattle Nutrition

Ashenafi Miresa published an R script for analyzing the mineral composition and physicochemical properties of natural mineral water (hora) and surrounding soils in an unspecified study area. The analysis includes parameters such as electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, ammonia, and concentrations of minerals like iron, molybdenum, and manganese. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Assess water quality for cattle based on physicochemical properties like pH and ammonia levels
• Evaluate soil mineral toxicity risk based on iron, molybdenum, and manganese concentrations
• Compare mineral supplement potential across different geographical districts

Strengths

• Analysis includes 11 physicochemical parameters and 12 mineral concentrations
• Samples were collected in triplicate from each district, suggesting a structured sampling method
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0

Limitations

• Dataset scale is tiny (1.5 KB), indicating it is likely an analysis script rather than a substantial data collection
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data structure must be inferred from the script
• Geographic and temporal coverage of the underlying samples are not specified
