“…Similar magnitude improvements in ADG, ADFI, and feed efficiency due to similar vitamin supplementation strategies over NRC levels have been reported by others. 26,27 However, which specific vitamins are responsible for growth improvements has yet to be established. Supplementation of B vitamins at levels similar to the industry concentrations fed in the present study do not always elicit improvements relative to NRC feeding levels, 28 but high-lean growth potential pigs have greater demand for B vitamins to support optimum growth efficiency 29 ; indeed, the pigs of the present study had 4% less ADFI yet 6.5% greater ADG than those which failed to respond to B-vitamin supplementation.…”

Objective: To evaluate performance and physiological vitamin status of sows and progeny fed 2 vitamin supplementation levels, industry vs reduced (all vitamins reduced with fat-soluble vitamins added at National Research Council recommendations). Materials and methods: Sows (n = 244) were allotted in a randomized complete block design to 1 of 2 vitamin supplementation levels. At weaning, 765 progeny from a subset of sows were allotted to treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of two sow and two nursery vitamin supplementation levels with 15 pens/treatment. Performance and vitamin status of sows and progeny were measured from farrowing to nursery exit. Results: Reduced vitamin supplementation reduced sow lactation feed intake (P = .01), hepatic vitamin A (P = .001), and serum vitamin D (P < .001), but did not affect sow body weight or litter performance. Regardless of vitamin levels fed to the sow, progeny fed reduced levels post weaning had decreased circulating (P < .001) and stored (P = .03) vitamin levels and a reduction in average daily gain (P < .001), average daily feed intake (P < .001), gain:feed ratio (P = .002), and body weight (P < .001) at the end of the nursery period compared to progeny fed industry levels. Implications: Reduced vitamin supplementation reduced sow feed intake without affecting sow or litter performance, but decreased circulating and stored vitamin levels in sows could impact long-term reproductive performance. Reduced vitamin inclusion levels in nursery diets reduced performance and serum vitamin concentrations compared to industry vitamin levels.

“…Pigs fed the control diet or the basal diet with 0.5 times the NRC requirements of vitamins had lower growth performance than the other groups, whereas the pigs fed five times the requirements of vitamins had the highest ADG and ADFI. Cho et al fed weaned piglets a control diet (a basal diet without vitamins) or diets containing 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.25%, or 0.50% commercial vitamin premix with 11 vitamins at levels of 73-640%, 147-1280%, 367-3200%, and 733-6400% of NRC requirement estimates [32], respectively. In the overall experimental period, increasing the supplementation of vitamins resulted in linear increases of ADFI and ADG.…”

The objective of this study was to quantify the relative bioavailability of microencapsulated vitamins A and E in nursery pigs and compare the effects of vitamin forms and vitamin levels on the plasma vitamin content and growth performance of weaned piglets. In experiment (Exp.) 1, 12 nursery pigs (fitted with jugular catheters) were supplied at 0 h with non-microencapsulated or microencapsulated vitamin A and E. Blood samples were collected at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 16, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 36, 48, and 72 h after feeding to compare the bioavailability of oral vitamins A and E. In Exp. 2, a total of 216 crossbred weaned piglets were assigned to six treatments. This experiment was a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement, with two factors for vitamin forms (non-microencapsulated and microencapsulated) and three factors for vitamin levels (the National Research Council level of vitamins, 75% commercial recommendations of vitamins (CRV) level, and a 100% CVR level). In Exp. 1, the relative bioavailability of microencapsulated vitamin E was significantly greater than that of non-microencapsulated vitamin E. In Exp. 2, the pigs fed diets containing 75% or 100% CRV levels of vitamins increased their growth performance and plasma vitamin concentrations compared to the control group. In conclusion, microencapsulation can improve the bioavailability of vitamins, and supplementation with high levels of vitamins was able to improve the growth performance of the piglets.

“…Choi et al (2001) also observed a quadratic effect on ADWG and FCR due to supplementation up to 200% of the NRC requirements (Nutrient…, 1998) for pigs four weeks before slaughter. Cho et al (2017) conducted three separate experiments with different ages, types, and vitamin levels. In experiment 1, a linear effect was found in ADWG and ADFI due to increased supplementation of fat-soluble and B-complex vitamins up to 28 days post-weaning of piglets.…”

The objective was to evaluate the supplementation of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins on the performance and plasma concentrations of vitamins in modern hybrids pigs. A total of 144 commercial hybrid castrated male, 43.531 ± 1.099kg, were used in a randomized block design with six treatments, eight replicates and three animals per pen. The experimental treatments were different vitamin supplementation levels - 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125% of the recommended by Rostagno et al. (2011) for male pigs in growth I (40 to 50kg), growth II (50 to 70kg), and finishing I (70 to 90kg) phases. For growth phases I and II, a linear effect (P<0.05) due to increase in vitamin supplementation was observed on performance. For finishing phase I and total phase, a linear effect (P<0.05) was observed with increased final average weight (FAW) and improved feed conversion ratio (FCR). For average daily weight gain (ADWG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) a quadratic effect was observed (P<0.05). A linear (P<0.05) increase in plasmatic α-tocopherol and B12 was observed with the 125%. Thus, it is concluded that the 125% vitamin supplementation improved performance of modern hybrids pigs (40 to 90kg).
