Involvement of Water-Soluble Vitamins in Diseases of Swine1

Robert Blair and Frances Newsome

University of British Columbia2, Vancouver, B.C., Canada V6T 2A2

Abstract

The various roles of the water-soluble vitamins (including choline and vitamin C) in diseases of swine are outlined. The most important role is in the prevention of deficiency disease; another important role is in relation to the immune response. Deficiency signs relating to each vitamin are described and the metabolism of each vitamin is outlined. Recent estimates of requirements are set out, together with suggestions on supplementation of practical diets for swine.
