Why do pigs need B vitamins?
B vitamins are crucial for pigs metabolism, growth and reproductive health. Growing pigs have a significant requirement for B vitamins as they have high rates of lean tissue growth. B vitamins are also essential for the metabolism of animo acids in pigs.
- Vitamin B2: Essential for metabolic balance, growth, and immune regulation
- Vitamin B3: Supports pig immunity and can help fight infection
-
Vitamin B12: Important for tissue repair, has anti-inflammatory properties
Why do birds need B vitamins?
Birds are unable to produce B vitamins which they need for energy metabolism, nerve function, red blood cell production, overall growth and development.
At times of stress such as changes in environment, after transport, physical exertion or following vaccination, birds requirement for B vitamins increases significantly.

- Glycine & Vitamin C: Supports birds during heat stress, helps to maintain efficiency and muscle health
- Vitamin B1: Deficiency may cause nervous system issues like stargazing, weak digestion and weakness
- Vitamin B2: Required for good embryo health
- Vitamin B6: Deficiency will reduce appetite and can slow growth
- Vitamin B12: Deficiency can lower feed intake and weight gain in chicks
