The investigation was carried out to assess the influence of trace mineral supplementation on certain steroid and thyroid hormones that affect reproduction in Black Bengal goat and Garole sheep. Trace mineral feeding to local goat and sheep breeds showed positive influence. Rise of the serum trace minerals does not necessarily influence rising of serum steroid and thyroid hormone levels within short period.
