What are the treatment methods for vitamin D deficiency?
Treatment of vitamin D deficiency
For chickens with vitamin D deficiency, first analyze the feed and daily sun exposure to determine whether it is a vitamin D deficiency, or a deficiency of calcium and phosphorus, or excess phosphorus affecting the absorption and utilization of calcium.
To supplement vitamin D, both chicks and adult chickens can have 10 to 20 milliliters of clear cod liver oil added per kilogram of feed, while the multivitamin added per 50 kilograms of feed is increased to 25 grams, continued for a period, generally 2 to 4 weeks, until the sick chickens return to normal health.
