Abstract
 

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of some organic minerals mixture supplementation during late gestation on the performance and immune status of Egyptian goat breeds and their kids. Animals (n=54) were assigned into three groups (18/group). The first group was kept as control. 2nd group was supplemented with organic mineral mixture plus starch. 3rd group was supplemented with organic mineral mixture plus bran. The results illustrated that birth weight, rectal temperature and weaning weight of kids supplemented group with mineral mixture plus bran were significantly high in compared to those of the control group. Similarly, kids of the 2nd group had significant higher rectal temperature than those of the control group. In addition, the serum globulin levels of goats in 2nd and 3rd groups were significantly higher than control group. These results suggested that supplementation of pregnant goats with organic minerals improved their immune status and their kids' performance.
