TRAUTENMULLER M.SC., Heloíse et al. The importance of the vitamin D in pigs nutrition. rev. colombiana cienc. anim. Recia [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp.95-107. Epub 08-Maio-2020. ISSN 2027-4297. https://doi.org/10.24188/recia.v11.n2.2019.692.
This article aims to present the importance of vitamin D in pig nutrition, especially its relevance in bone growth and development, in the form of a literature review. As animal husbandry intensified, changes in the structure of the facilities were necessary to adapt to the system, so the environment that was once open, today has closed, with roof facilities, which has drastically reduced the animals contact with the sun. As a result, the animals were then supplemented with vitamin D in synthetic form to compensate for the lack of sunlight exposure. Therefore, this vitamin has become an essential element in confined animal feed.
