Effective chemical breakdown of minerals may ensure efficient utilization in metabolism. The aim this study was to evaluate the effects of mineral supplementation on reproduction in cows. A farm was selected for the experiment due to the fact that it previously experienced different reproductive conditions in the farm. The farm comprises cross\u2010breed cows with Bonsmara dominating in the farm. Twelve pregnant primiparous and multiparous cows of different ages, parity and weight, that had previously experienced reproductive conditions, were randomly selected for this study. The cows were then randomly sub\u2010divided into two groups (experimental and control group) of six. The experimental group was injected with MULTIMIN\u2122\u00a0+\u00a0Se\u00a0+\u00a0Cu at a dosage of 1\u00a0ml\/45\u00a0kg BW and Calci 50 p.i. at a dosage of 100\u2013150\u00a0ml\/500\u00a0kg BW at an interval of 6\u00a0weeks (from June to October 2017). Blood samples were collected before every injection date. The <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> test was used to relate the mean weight gain and serum metabolite between the experimental and control groups. The body weight gain was significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the non\u2010supplemented group. Supplemented cows had significantly (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.05) high levels of triglycerides and creatinine kinase. A case of retained placenta and dystocia among non\u2010supplemented cows were noted. Thus, mineral supplementation can be used to improve productivity and reproductive well\u2010being.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/rda.13618","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,2]],"date-time":"2020-01-02T02:44:02Z","timestamp":1577933042000},"page":"301-308","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Effects of mineral supplementation on reproductive performance of pregnant cross\u2010breed Bonsmara cows: An experimental study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2826-0122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keitiretse","family":"Molefe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Health Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences North\u2010West University Mmabatho South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9311-6517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mulunda","family":"Mwanza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Health Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences North\u2010West University Mmabatho South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","first-page":"501","article-title":"Hematological parameters in dairy cows with copper deficiency","volume":"24","author":"Abramowicz B.","year":"2019","journal-title":"Journal of Elementology"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","first-page":"55","article-title":"Effect of some minerals in soil and forage on same minerals in cattle plasma at three sites in the province of Thi\u2010Qar","volume":"7","author":"Al\u2010Ghareebawi A.
