**7. Conclusion**

Mineral diet can have a significant impact on animal reproduction, as evidenced by the current review. This study would highlight the role of soil minerals in farm animal reproductive function, including infertility, met energy-protein requirements, and mineral deficits. Mineral deficiencies may be a major cause of infertility in dairy cows in different parts of the country. Exotic and crossbreeds showed increased severity of infertility than local breeds. This reflected the increased mineral requirements of these breeds. Compared to milkers, dry cows had severe trace element deficits.

The bulk of the animals with low fertility was found to be weak in P, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Co. Analysis of soils and plants could provide some insight into mineral levels in animal blood. With the use of clinical symptoms and serum analysis, an accurate picture of the animals' mineral status could be established. Satisfying the animal's energy-protein requirements is insufficient to express the animal's maximum reproductive potential. Mineral supplementation in animal diets, particularly those of plant origin, should be addressed.
