Vitamins are biological activators of metabolic processes in the body. The wholesome diet in terms of vitamin composition is of great importance for maintaining the health of growing and adult animals. Productivity, reproductive qualities, resistance to diseases depend on the presence of vitamins in the body. Vitamins must be supplied with feed in finished form or in the form of provitamins, since they are not synthesized in the body or are synthesized in insufficient quantities. The lack of vitamins in the feed of animals and poultry leads to the development of a serious disease – avitaminose, with a lack of vitamins – hypovitaminosis, which in young animals are manifested by exhaustion, a decrease in resistance to infections and increased mortality, and in laying hens – reduced egg production, egg fertility and hatchability of young animals.
Depending on the solubility of vitamins, they are divided into fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E, K, water-soluble vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, Bc, H, C.
