What is 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3?
25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 is produced in the liver from vitamin D3 and plays a vital role in animal health, just as it does in humans.
Why is the 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 analysis important?
Measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 helps feed specialists understand how much vitamin D animals actually absorb from their feed. This test also maps the contribution of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 from ingredients like organ meat, which can significantly reduce the need to add vitamin D3 to feed, saving costs and providing better insight into actual vitamin D3 content.
How does the test work?
Our new test operates similarly to our existing vitamin D3 test. With this extension, we can now measure with even greater accuracy, helping our clients optimize their animal feed and ensure animal health.
At NutriControl, we strive to offer our clients the best and most accurate services. With the introduction of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 test, we’re even better equipped to support improvements in animal health."
