THE VITAMIN REQUIREMENT OF VARIOUS SPECIES OF ANIMALS [PDF]
It is a well known fact that vitamin A is necessary in the diet if normal growth and reproduction shall take place. In the absence of this particular dietary factor a condition known as xerophthalmia or keratomalacia results. It is equally well known that the higher animals cannot synthesize this vitamin and that they must depend, therefore, on green ...

ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, turkeys, other poultry, pigs, piglets (suckling), calves for rearing, calves for fattening, bovines, ovines, equines, fish and other animal species or categories, based on a dossier submitted by DSM [PDF]
The principal physiological role of vitamin D in all vertebrates is in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. The classic clinical deficiency syndrome is rickets. The FEEDAP Panel notes that for turkeys for fattening, equines, bovines, ovines and pigs the maximum content for vitamin D3 in feed does not provide any margin of safety, and that, except for ...
