Do chickens need vitamin supplements?
Of course I do. The vitamins in the feed are far from enough to meet the needs, and some of them are destroyed during processing. Although the need for vitamins is very small, it plays a very important role. It not only participates in the regulation of metabolism in the body, but also is usually the component of certain enzymes. Vitamins dissolve in water into fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins.
Fat-soluble vitamins refer to vitamins that do not dissolve in water but only in fat, including vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K. Modern science and technology can coat fat-soluble vitamins into water-soluble compounds to facilitate the addition of vitamins to drinking water.
Water-soluble vitamins are vitamins that can be dissolved in water. Including vitamin C and B vitamins, B vitamins include vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, nicotinic acid, folic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin, choline, vitamin B12. Poultry can synthesize vitamin C, so it is not listed as an essential nutrient. But vitamin C supplementation under stress is good for poultry.
