This document discusses concepts in vitamin D nutrition for poultry and swine production. It summarizes research showing that older birds have impaired conversion of vitamin D, leading to decreased calcium absorption and poorer egg quality. Supplementation with the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, can help support calcium and phosphorus metabolism. The product Panbonis, which contains the plant Solanum glaucophyllum that naturally produces 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, was shown to improve performance metrics in layers and reduce feed costs. The document also discusses how vitamin D can support reproduction in swine by influencing the uterus, muscle contraction, and implantation.
