Abstract Repeat breeder is a problem faced by cattle farmers in Indonesia. The highest reproductive disease commonly occurring repeat conditions reaching up to 32.76%. Limited feed cause cows have low Body Condition Score (BCS) so that the energy utilization process body not optimal and there decrease BCS which causes disturbances performance. If mineral deficiency body, metabolic will be disru...

Only limited aspects of the transfer of calcium across the placenta to the fetus are known. Clinical outcome studies suggest that bone mineral mass in newborn infants is related to maternal size and dairy intake. Available data indicate that vitamin D deficiency may also limit in utero fetal bone mineral accumulation. Recent data suggest that maternal vitamin D status affects long-term childhoo...
