Explain the effect of mineral and vitamin deficiency on enzyme activity?

Mineral and vitamin deficiencies can impair enzyme activity by disrupting the cofactors that enzymes depend on to function. For example, a lack of magnesium can impact ATPase activity, while a deficiency in vitamin C can affect collagen synthesis due to impaired prolyl hydroxylase activity. Overall, enzyme activity is highly dependent on the presence of appropriate cofactors, and mineral and vitamin deficiencies can lead to decreased enzyme function and potential health consequences.

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.
