ASSESS VITAMIN D FOR FATTENING SWINE HEALTH AND NUTRITION Immune function, muscle deposition and bone health are governed by different metabolites at the post-absorptive level. Muscle, immune and of course bone cells have been shown to have receptors for vitamin D. Vitamin D is involved in the modulation of immune function, regulates bone deposition and influences metabolic pathways linked to muscle accretion. The effects of vitamin D on physiological functions depends on the circulating plasma concentrations achieved in fattening swine. However, vitamin D3 status of fatteners is rarely evaluated and therefore risks can go unseen. VITAMIN D3 STATUS DETERMINATION MADE EASY To quickly assess the circulating levels of vitamin D in pigs, dsm-firmenich offers Verax™ DBS Analytics, a quick and simple diagnostic tool whose benefit is to objectively assess vitamin D3 status of pigs on-farm and to implement rapid corrective nutritional measures that increases circulating vitamin Figure 2.
