Vitamins play a vital role in maintaining the overall health, growth, immunity, and productivity of poultry. A deficiency in
essential vitamins can lead to multiple health issues, poor performance, and increased vulnerability to infections. Early detection and correction are key to preventing long-term damage.
Causes of Vitamin Deficiency:
-
Low-quality or unbalanced feed
Feeds lacking essential nutrients can lead to vitamin deficiencies.
-
Improper feed storage
Vitamins in feed can degrade over time if exposed to heat, moisture, or light.
-
Extended antibiotic use
Long-term use of antibiotics can hinder the body’s ability to absorb vitamins.
-
Poor gut health or absorption issues
Digestive problems can prevent proper uptake of vitamins from the feed.
-
Lack of green feed or sunlight
Limited exposure to greens or sunlight reduces natural sources of Vitamin D.
Tips For Preventing Vitamin Deficiency In Birds
