The Role of Riboflavin and other Factors of the Vitamin-B Complex in the Nutrition of the Pig¹

Two Figure

Division of Animal Husbandry, College of Agriculture, University of California, Davis

Using a purified diet it has been shown that riboflavin is necessary for normal growth and physical well being in the pig. Further evidence is presented showing that thiamin too is necessary for the proper nutrition of the pig.

Feeding a diet without rice-bran filtrate (containing factors 1 and 2) resulted in slow growth, which suggests that one or both of these factors are necessary in the nutrition of the pig.
