Adequacy of Simplified Diets for the Pig

One Figure

Department of Animal Husbandry, University of Missouri, Columbia

1. Pigs seldom grow normally, and few survive, if they are transferred at 2 days of age to simplified diets that contain no water-soluble vitamins except those now recognized. Occasionally, however, a pig will grow fairly well on such a diet.

2. No evidence was obtained that the pig requires vitamin E, vitamin K, choline, biotin, inositol, or p-aminobenzoic acid, but it may be impossible to reach a final decision in this matter until all essential unrecognized vitamins are available and have been tested.

3. Water extracts of liver or yeast contain all unrecognized vitamins required by the pig.
