The Interactions of Some Minerals Elements in Health and Reproductive Performance of Dairy Cows

Abstract

The dairy business is recognized as an important economic and nutritional resource. The food and agriculture organization (FAO) estimates that there are about 245 million dairy cows in the world. Milk production offers enormous health, sociological, and economic benefits around the world. In emerging economies, livestock serves a range of purposes, including providing a source of household income, a financial asset for women, food security, risk management, and a direct connection to human health. With a total value of $628.27 billion USD in 2018, the dairy industry provides a major economic impact. The dairy business supports over a million employment, either directly or indirectly. In terms of public health, the dairy business plays a role. While dairy products are a beneficial part of a balanced diet, zoonotic and food-borne diseases originating in dairy animals can be dangerous to humans. Milk production performance in emerging countries is poor. Non-infectious infertility in dairy cattle is most commonly caused by energy, protein, and mineral deficiencies. According to the current review, minerals, play an essential role in animal production and reproduction issues. This chapter discusses the linkages of several mineral elements in health and reproductive performance that affects the dairy industry.

Evaluation of blood minerals and oxidative stress changing pattern in prepartum and postpartum Achai and Holstein Friesian dairy cows

“…Trace minerals play pivotal roles in various enzymatic, catalytic, and structural functions in higher vertebrates (Tufarelli et al., 2016). Several environmental and biological factors can impact the concentrations of these substances in the bloodstream of mammals (Fadlalla, 2022). Numerous studies have demonstrated a decrease in serum levels of calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and selenium (Se) during the pre‐parturient period (Fadlalla, 2022; Shoukat et al., 2022; Ullah et al., 2020; Yadav et al., 2020).…”

Furthermore, they observed that the production of colostrum, fluctuations in feed consumption, and metabolic processes during calving can have an effect on the serum levels of vitamins and trace elements.…”
