Vitamins in swine nutrition
Vitamins are required for normal metabolism in physiological functions such as growth, development, maintenance, and reproduction. Some vitamins are produced by the pig in sufficient quantities to meet its needs while others are present in adequate amounts in feed ingredients commonly used in swine diets. However, several vitamins need to be added to swine diets in the form of a vitamin premix to avoid deficiency and obtain optimal performance.
Eleven vitamins are regularly added to swine diets because the natural ingredients commonly used in swine diets (cereal grain, soybean meal, etc.) are deficient. These vitamins can be divided into two groups, fat soluble (vitamins A, D, E and K) and water soluble (riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, choline, biotin, vitamin B12, and folic acid). Several other vitamins function in the pig’s body including pyridoxine (B6), thiamine, and vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
Vitamin needs are usually met by adding a commercial vitamin premix to the diet. Vitamin potency in feed and manufactured products will decrease with exposure to light, high humidity, heat, rancid fat, and oxygen.

There was a lack of effective stimulus in the APIs market, and there were no apparent factors on both the supply or demand sides to push the price up. Due to increased sales pressure on the supply side, some suppliers have new price releases or provide preferential delivery conditions. The downstream procurement is...

Background Maize oil is an abundant source of vegetable oil used in human foods and animal feeds. Maize oil provides 8579 kcal/ kg of ME [1], which is comparable to soybean oil (8574 kcal/kg), and greater than canola oil (8384 kcal/kg) and palm kernel oil (7119 kcal/kg) when added to swine diets. The addition of lipids to animal feeds not only increases energy density, but also enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and improves feed efficiency and palatability [2]. The...

Introduction Minerals make up a small but vital percentage of swine diets with profound impacts on animal health, growth performance, feed cost and the general environment. Calcium and phosphorus are the two most abundant minerals in the body, and they exist largely (about 98%) in the form of carbonated hydroxyapatite (Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ) in the skeleton (Mahamid et al., 2010). They are required for a wide variety of functions...

1. Introduction
The increased awareness of potential negative effects of including antibiotic growth promoters in diets fed to pigs has resulted in an increased interest in producing pigs without using antibiotic growth promoters. However, by eliminating antibiotic growth promoters from diets fed to newly weaned pigs, disease problems may be increased and growth performance may be reduced. In contrast, removal of antibiotic growth promoters from diets fed to...
