“…Compared with traditional vitamin D 3 , 25OHD 3 has great advantages in absorption and conversion efficiency (Al‐Hashimi & Abraham, 2020). In recent years, 25OHD 3 has attracted the attention of an increasing number of scholars in different fields, especially in the animal breeding industry (Ren et al., 2017; Zhou et al, 2017). In terms of the reproductive performance of sows, most of the observations from previous studies assessed sow weight and ability to reproduce.…”

25OHD 3 is the product of the first hydroxylation of vitamin D in the liver, which is then transported to the kidney and further hydroxylated by the 1-a hydroxylase to generate the more biologically active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH) 2 D 3 ] (Sibilska, Sicinski, Plum, & DeLuca, 2013). In traditional nutrition, it is generally believed that the function of vitamin D is mainly related to the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the body (Kaantee, 1983). In fact, vitamin D not only is involved in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus after being converted into biologically active 25OHD 3 and 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 in the human body but also is involved in the regulation of various physiological processes in the body by binding to VDR. VDR is expressed in various organs, including ovaries and mammary glands (Stumpf & Denny, 1989). Studies have confirmed that the ovary is the target organ of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 (Dokoh, Donaldson, Marion, Pike, & Haussler, 1983). In animal studies, it was found that the addition of 6 mg/day 25OHD 3 to the feed of cows for 40 days could significantly increase the calcium and phosphorus content in their milk and the calcium and phosphorus content in their serum, and it could significantly improve the quality of the milk, thereby improving the performance of the cow (Guo, Jones, Givens, Lovegrove, & Kliem, 2018). Adding 50 µg/kg 25OHD 3 to the diet for 118 days improved sow reproductive performance, milk quality, bone status and bone quality in newborn piglets (Zhou et al., 2016); in

“…Moreover, studies indicated that the biochemical actions of 25-OH-D 3 are highly dependent on the dietary vitamin regimen in ducks ( Ren et al., 2016 ; 2017 ). In agreement with our results, 25-OH-D 3 treatment significantly increased tibial mineral content, density and strength in the regular but not high vitamin diets.…”

“…Another important effect described for 25-OH-D 3 was the dependence on the dietary basal vitamin level. Ren et al. (2017) reported that the positive impacts of maternal canthaxanthin and 25-OH-D 3 supplementation on growth performance and serum P of ducklings only were observed in a low but not a high vitamin regimen which has higher levels of all vitamins except nicotinic acid than the low vitamin recommendations, different responses of dietary 25-OH-D 3 to distinct vitamin regimen probably due to different doses of vitamin D or interaction between vitamins ( Bonjour et al., 2018 ).…”

Dietary supplementation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol increases tibial mass by suppression bone resorption in meat ducks

et al. 2020

Leg problems often result from the rapid weight gain and poor bone quality in modern ducks, leading to a high risk of fractures and continuous pain. We hypothesized that improving bone quality in combination with delaying weight gain via a low nutrient density (LND) diet probably reverses these skeletal abnormalities. Studies indicated that 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH-D 3 ), a vitamin D 3 metabolite, is effective in treating bone-related disorders. Therefore, Exp. 1 evaluated the effects of 25-OH-D 3 on tibial mass of meat ducks. Male meat ducklings were fed a standard nutrient density diet (containing a regular vitamin regimen) without or with 25-OH-D 3 at 0.069 mg/kg for 35 d. The results showed that 25-OH-D 3 supplementation improved the mineral content, microarchitecture and mechanical properties of tibias, and this companied by a decreased serum bone resorption marker and a concomitant decrement in osteoclast-specific marker genes expression. Subsequently, Exp. 2 was conducted to examine the impacts of 25-OH-D 3 incorporating an LND diet on tibial quality of ducks under 2 different vitamin regimens (regular and high). Ducklings were allocated to a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with 2 kinds of vitamin premixes and without or with 25-OH-D 3 at 0.069 mg/kg in LND diets. The high premix had higher levels of all vitamins except biotin than the regular premix. The results demonstrated that high vitamin diets exhibited more significant effects than regular vitamin diets on inhibiting bone turnover and increasing minerals deposition. Tibial mineral content, microarchitecture, and strength of birds under the regular vitamin regimen were increased by 25-OH-D 3 supplementation; However, these positive effects were not observed in ducks under the high vitamin regimen. To conclude, 25-OH-D 3 supplementation improves tibial mass by suppressing osteoclast-mediated bone resorption in meat ducks, and this positive impact only was observed in regular but not high vitamin regimen when birds fed an LND diet.

“…However, Maiorka, Laurentiz, Santin, Araujo, and Macari () indicated that vitamin withdrawal at 42 days of age did not impair feed intake or weight gain, but significantly affected feed conversion ratio of broiler chickens. Ren et al () found that ducklings fed DSM () vitamin recommend diet has lightly higher 14 d body weight than that fed NRC () vitamin recommend diet. Similarly, in our study, dietary supplementation of the vitamin had no effect on the duck growth performance except 49 d BW; high‐vitamin level increased the 49 d BW compared with low‐vitamin level and medium‐vitamin level group, and no significant difference was found between low‐vitamin level group and medium‐vitamin level group.…”

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin level on sternum growth, calcification and carcass traits in meat duck. A total of 432 1‐d‐old mixed‐sex Cherry Valley ducks (216 males and 216 females) were randomly allocated and fed low‐vitamin level diet (70% NRC vitamin regimen), high‐vitamin level diet (DSM vitamin regimen) or medium‐vitamin level diet (50% low‐vitamin level diet and 50% high‐vitamin level diet). Sternum and serum were harvested after 49 d of feeding. Compared with the low‐vitamin level group, dietary high‐vitamin level increased body weight (BW) at d 49 (p = 0.029) but did not alter all parameters of carcass trait (p > 0.05). Medium‐ and high‐vitamin level increased sternum defatted weight, density, ash and calcium (Ca) concentration (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the medium and high‐vitamin level group significantly decreased the relative proportions of the keel cartilage at 49 d (p < 0.05) and decreased the sternum length and height (p < 0.05) in meat ducks at 49 d. Likewise, high‐vitamin level improved serum Ca and phosphate (P) content (p < 0.05) and declined serum Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity (p = 0.003) compared with the low‐vitamin level group. Our study indicates that high‐vitamin level did not affect the examined carcass traits; however, high‐vitamin level improved growth performance and sternum calcification.
