“…In the final weight, the live weight was higher compared with the midterm weight as well as between the Vit, Glu and control groups; however, there was no significant difference between Vit and Glu groups (P>0.05). Chae et al (2000) reported that additional vitamins helped to reduce the stress on pigs through the outside environment, contribute to the digestion in pig's gut as well as improve the feed intake, thus they can enhance pig's growth. This might be explained that more vitamin in the diet helped pigs grow better because of improved digestion (vitamin C can reduce stress on pigs while water soluble vitamins might increase nutrient absorption) (Chae et al, 2000;Eicher et al, 2006).…”

Similar results were verified by Le et al (2016), who observed that additional feeding of vitamins improved the live weight of pigs compared to control (P<0.05) on the last day (56 days).…”

“…The search for alternatives to the feeding of antibiotics in animal nutrition is an ongoing problem under strict demand of the market when countries of the European Union banned the use of antibiotics in animal feed in 2006 (Amiri et al, 2011). Besides, there are many factors that place stress on pigs such as confinement, disease challenge and ambient temperature or their bioavailability/stability (Chae et al, 2000;Tian et al, 2001). Therefore, decreasing the pig's stress through the external factors while increasing the growth performance and nutrient digestibility is the necessary requirement, especially under climate change, nowadays.…”

“…Several methods have been studied, they are effective to replace antibiotics or reduce stress through the environment for livestock such as β-glucan as well as vitamins (Wang et al, 2008;Le et al, 2016). Vitamin plays an important role in the maximal performance of weaning pigs, increasing daily gain, reducing feed cost and nutrient excretion with economic and environmental benefits (Chae et al, 2000;Le et al, 2016). Using β-glucan in animal feed revealed the antioxidative, antiviral and immunomodulatory (Hahn et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2008).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of vitamin and β-glucan supplementations on growth performance of growing-finishing pigs in Ben Tre province. A total of 36 post-weaned piglets (Duroc x Yorkshire-Landrace) with the initial live weight of 17.42 kg±0.26, was allotted into 3 treatments and 4 replications in a completely randomized design. There were three diets, including basal diet (BD) without any addition of β-glucan or vitamin (diet CT), the BD supplemented with vitamin (diet Vit) and the BD supplemented with β-glucan (diet Glu). The results on growth parameters indicated that final live weight (kg), weight gain (kg), and average daily gain (g/head/day) of pigs in the experimental diets were significantly higher (P<0.01) than those in the control treatment. FCR was lowest in Glu and highest in the control (P<0.01). Financial benefit based on feed and veterinary expenses was higher in the vitamin and β-glucan supplement diets than that of the control from 15.74% to 18.98%, respectively.

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of dietary vitamin levels on physiological responses, blood profiles, and reproductive performance in gestating sows. A total of 52 F1 multiparous sows (Yorkshire × Landrace) with an average body weight of 223.5 ± 31.7 kg, an average parity of 6.4 ± 2.7, and an average backfat thickness of 18.5 ± 4.9 mm were divided into four treatment groups considering body weight, backfat thickness, and parity in a completely randomized design with 13 replicates. The treatments were 100% (V1), 300% (V3), 600% (V6) and 900% (V9) of the National Research Council (NRC) Nutrient Requirements of Swine. The gestation diet was formulated based on corn-soybean meal (SBM) and contained 3,265 kcal of metabolizable energy (ME)/kg and 12.00% crude protein. During the lactation period, all sows were fed the same commercial lactation diet. There was no significant difference in body weight of gestating sows. However backfat thickness tended to increase when higher levels of vitamins were provided to gestating sows (p < 0.10). When high levels of dietary vitamins were provided, the body weight change of lactating sows increased (p < 0.01). When sows were fed higher levels of vitamins, the feed intake of lactating sows tended to decrease (p = 0.06). There were no treatment differences in the number of total born, born alive, stillbirth piglets, or the body weight of piglets according to different dietary vitamin level. As dietary vitamin level increased, the serum concentration of 25(OH)D3 in sows at 90 days of gestation linearly increased (p < 0.01). Furthermore, the serum vitamin E level of gestating sows was linearly increased with increasing dietary vitamin level (p < 0.05). The current NRC vitamin requirements are sufficient for gestating sows and higher levels of vitamins in the gestation diet did not show any beneficial effects for gestating and lactating sows.

The objective was to evaluate the supplementation of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins on the performance and plasma concentrations of vitamins in modern hybrids pigs. A total of 144 commercial hybrid castrated male, 43.531 ± 1.099kg, were used in a randomized block design with six treatments, eight replicates and three animals per pen. The experimental treatments were different vitamin supplementation levels - 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125% of the recommended by Rostagno et al. (2011) for male pigs in growth I (40 to 50kg), growth II (50 to 70kg), and finishing I (70 to 90kg) phases. For growth phases I and II, a linear effect (P<0.05) due to increase in vitamin supplementation was observed on performance. For finishing phase I and total phase, a linear effect (P<0.05) was observed with increased final average weight (FAW) and improved feed conversion ratio (FCR). For average daily weight gain (ADWG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) a quadratic effect was observed (P<0.05). A linear (P<0.05) increase in plasmatic α-tocopherol and B12 was observed with the 125%. Thus, it is concluded that the 125% vitamin supplementation improved performance of modern hybrids pigs (40 to 90kg).
