Herbal vitamin D metabolite helps the farrowing process
With the increasing prolificity of sows it becomes essential to adjust nutrition to cover the needs of modern breeds. An important nutrient is vitamin D, as it is a key factor in calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) metabolism. The mineral requirement of sows is very high from the third part of gestation until the end of lactation.
