“…Besides energy, other essential nutrients are microelements necessary for growth, production (Yatoo et al 2013) and reproduction (Chester-Jones et al 2013). It has been reported that the ovarian activity in ruminants is affected by mineral deficiency (Yatoo et al 2013), particularly Cu, for its role in reproduction.…”

Background: Microelements are essential for the reproduction of goats; short-term energy supplementation also improves the estrus and ovulatory response to estrus synchronization. The influence of supplementation of cantaloupe leftover and/or copper sulphate on the reproductive response of anovulatory adult goats on rangeland was evaluated. Methods: Sixty-seven mixed-breed adult goats were divided into four experimental groups: Control (C, n=16), without cantaloupe or Cu supplementation; Copper group (Cu, n=17), supplemented with 1 mL of copper sulphate at 2.5%; Cantaloupe group (Ca, n=17), supplemented with 200 g of Cucumis melo and Cu and cantaloupe group (Ca-Cu, n=17), supplemented with 1 mL of copper sulphate+200 g of Cucumis melo. Estrus of goats was synchronized and fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) was applied. Result: There was an increase in ovulation rate for the Ca-Cu goats when compared to C (1.93 vs 1.46, respectively). Also, embryo losses decreased for Ca-Cu goats compared to C, Cu and Ca (13 vs. 42.33%, p less than 0.05). It was concluded that the combined supplementation of cantaloupe leftovers and Cu could be an alternative to increase the ovulation rate and decrease embryo losses, a frequent reproductive problem in goats on rangeland.

“…In dairy production, mineral supplementation is a well-proven practice to increase reproductive performance [ 11 , 12 ], but its effect on cow health status including mastitis has also been investigated [ 13 , 14 ]. However, to the best of our knowledge there are practically no papers reviewing in detail the association between minerals and bovine mastitis.…”

The aim of this paper is to describe the association between selected dietary minerals and mastitis in dairy cows. Minerals are a group of nutrients with a proven effect on production and reproductive performance. They also strongly affect immune system function. In particular their deficiencies may result in immunosuppression, which is a predisposing factor for udder inflammation occurrence. The role of selected dietary minerals (including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, copper and zinc) has been reviewed. Generally, minerals form structural parts of the body; as cofactors of various enzymes they are involved in nerve signaling, muscle contraction and proper keratosis. Their deficiencies lead to reduced activity of immune cells or malfunction of teat innate defense mechanisms, which in turn promote the development of mastitis. Special attention was also paid to minerals applied as nanoparticles, which in the future may turn out to be an effective tool against animal diseases, including mastitis. To conclude, minerals are an important group of nutrients, which should be taken into account on dairy farms when aiming to achieve high udder health status.

Background: The study was carried out at the Dairy farm of Banaras Hindu University, Dist. Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh). Twelve (12) Sahiwal and Hariana cows ranging 4 - 6 years of age was randomly selected for present investigations. Animals were stratified for their initial body weight and age. The objective of the study was to compare the effect of feeding chelated mineral based formulation on dairy cow production performance, namely milk yield and milk composition. Methods: The trial was conducted with dairy cows 3 - 4 months of lactation. The experimental treatments included: Fedamin (Chelated minerals, given 50 gm. /day/ cow) and control. The study lasted from 0 to 30 days. Milk yield and milk composition of cows were measured individually on days 1, 8, 15, 22 and 30. Result: The Fedamin treated group (Chelated minerals) improved the milk yield and fat percentage in milk during this study as compared to control and specific gravity, solid-not fat, protein, lactose and total solids of milk differ non-significantly.
