Abstract

Nutrient deficiencies cause a variety of problems in animals, including reduced reproductive performance. Macronutrients are the most important nutrients for dairy cattle reproduction, and they should be given top priority. Micronutrients are required for proper cellular metabolism, growth, and maintenance, as well as animal fertility and health. For a variety of metabolic activities, including reproduction and growth, adequate nutritional supplementation and absorption are essential.

Keywords: Nutrients; Reproduction; Macronutrients; Micronutrients; Fertility
