Adding vitamin C to pig, poultry diets

摘要

Vitamin C can be a powerful additive for swine and chickens when used under certain adverse conditions. Pigs and poultry are fully capable of synthesizing enough vitamin C (ascorbic acid), a naturally occurring metabolite of glucose, to meet normal daily needs. Nevertheless, there is sufficient evidence today to suggest that pigs and poultry given vitamin C may benefit under certain conditions.
