Do cows have a certain diet when they are sick?

Well, that depends on what they happened to get sick from, or lack there of. If a bovine got sick from eating too much grain, then it can't have grain until it's healthy again, and when the producer understands that grain has to be introduced slowly. If a bovine got sick from a certain mineral deficiency, then more of that certain mineral has to be added to that bovine's diet or mixed in with the current mineral mix. With toxicity issues, certain mineral that the bovine is showing signs of toxicity to needs to be eliminated or limited, depending on the severity of the toxicity systems. Also, some diseases of a particular bovine can be alleviated if a certain diet is reduced or a certain mineral mix is removed for a few days. So the answer to this question is yes, they can.


What effect does the mineral status have on a cows reproductive stage?

That all depends on what stage you're referring to, the mineral in question, and what kind of status you are concerned with: deficiency, toxicity, or normal intake. All minerals have different effects on the different stages of reproduction in a cow, some more profound than others, and their effects differ with regards to deficiency or toxicity. So simply stating "the mineral status" leaves the person answering your question quite confused indeed.
