The requirements of the pig for “vitamin A” and “vitamin C.”
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
Most of our information on the subject of vitamins has been derived from experiments on small animals fed on synthetic diets. The direct application of the results of such experiments to the feeding of farm animals under practical conditions is not warranted. Animals differ in the degree of their susceptibility to disease caused by lack of vitamins, and laboratory diets, composed of foodstuffs subject to abnormal physical or chemical processes, such as heating under pressure, or prolonged extraction with fat solvents, have no parallel in animal husbandry.
