Book review: The Vitamins Directory

Vitamin nutrition is a small part (in number) of the complete nutrition of an animal. It can often be ignored and yet it is critical to the well-being and top performance of every animal.

 

The correct vitamin balance of animals is essential for maintaining normal body function to support growth, performance, immunity and fertility requirements.

 

An increased supply of specific vitamins can sometimes have a positive effect, such as immunity status.

 

Each vitamin is extensively reviewed by species, natural sources, function and benefits, absorption, metabolism, storage, excretion, adequate status, deficiency, toxicity, antagonists, etc.

 

A table of typical levels of each vitamin in common feedstuffs is included.
