A total of sixty reproductive disordered animals having 38 cows and 22 heifers were selected for this experiment which were divided among three groups in equal numbers of 20 animals in each, having anoestrus and repeat breeding problems. Animals in control group (C) were maintained as per the traditional practices of the farmer where as treatment groups were fed with mineral mixture @ 50 g per day per animal in T1 group and bypass fat @ 100 g per day per animal along with mineral mixture @ 50 g per day per animal in T2 group. The growth performances were measured in tunes of body weight and average daily gain (ADG). Heamoto-biochemical and mineral profile (Ca, P, Zn, Cu and Mn) were assessed for the analysis of the reproductive status of the animals. The average daily gain (g) of all the treatment group differed significantly (P<0.05) from the control group. Higher percentage of conception was achieved in group II (55%) followed by group III (40%). The least percentage was in group I (15%). It may be concluded that mineral mixture and bypass fat supplementation increased growth and reproductive performances of crossbred cattle.
