Pyridoxine Deficiency in Dogs as Affected by Level of Dietary Protein

Vitamin B6 content of feeds

“…The level of protein intake has been reported to affect the vitamin B6 requirement of a number of animals. An increased vitamin B6 requirement with increased protein intake has been reported for rats (Cerecedo and Foy, 1944;Sheppard and McHenry, 1946;Terroine, 1951), mice (Miller and Baumann, 1945), and dogs (Morgan et al, 1946). Although no data are available, birds raised on a relatively high protein diet may require a greater vitamin B6 intake than birds raised on a relatively low protein diet.…”
