Use of supplemental dietary riboflavin to increase fertility and/or prolificacy in animals

摘要

A novel method for enhancing the fertility and/or prolificacy of non- ruminant animals is provided. Riboflavin is administered in enhanced levels during gestation and, particularly, during a critical phase of gestation. The beneficial effects are achieved by elevating the concentration of riboflavin in the uterine fluids which surround the developing embryo.
