These specifications are typically offered as OEM/CUSTOMIZED products .

Applicable Animals:

  • Poultry (Chickens, Ducks, Turkeys): Vitamins A, D, and E are crucial for poultry growth, egg production, reproduction, and immunity.
  • Cattle (Dairy Cows, Beef Cattle): Essential for growth, reproductive health (conception rate, prevention of retained placenta), bone development, and immune function.
  • Pigs (Piglets, Growing Pigs, Breeding Sows): Supports growth and development, bone health, reproductive performance, skin health, and immunity.
  • Sheep and Goats: Promotes growth, reproduction, and prevents rickets and weakened immunity.
  • Horses: Plays an important role in bone health, vision, muscle function, and reproductive performance.
  • Dogs and Cats: Maintains vision, bone development (D), skin and coat health (A, E), antioxidant activity (E), and immune function.
  • Aquatic Animals (Fish, Shrimp): Especially in aquaculture, Vitamins A, D, and E significantly impact growth, vision, bone mineralization, and disease resistance.
  • Special Farming Animals (e.g., Rabbits, Mink, Foxes): Used to maintain specific nutritional needs, supporting growth, reproduction, and immune health.

Usage and Dosage:

Vitamins A, D, and E are fat-soluble vitamins, and overdose can accumulate in the body. Therefore, precise usage and dosage must be determined based on the specific product concentration, animal species, age, weight, physiological state (growth, reproduction, lactation, stress), and nutritional status. The suspension dosage form is typically administered orally or mixed with feed/drinking water.

General Guidelines (Always follow specific product instructions and veterinary advice):

  • Oral/Mixed with Feed/Drinking Water (Suspension):
    • Add appropriate dosage per ton of feed or liter of drinking water, according to product concentration and animal dietary needs.
    • Poultry:
      • Chicks (0-3 weeks): 0.5-1ml per liter of drinking water, or 10-20ml per 100kg of feed.
      • Growing Period (4 weeks to pre-laying): 0.5-1.5ml per liter of drinking water, or 15-30ml per 100kg of feed.
      • Laying Period: 1-2ml per liter of drinking water, or 20-40ml per 100kg of feed.
    • Pigs:
      • Piglets (post-weaning): 0.5-1ml per head daily.
      • Growing/Finishing Pigs: 0.5-1ml per 10kg body weight daily, or 20-50ml per 100kg of feed.
      • Breeding Pigs (Boars, Sows): 2-5ml per head daily; can be increased during breeding periods.
    • Cattle and Sheep:
      • Calves/Lambs: 2-5ml per head daily.
      • Adult Cattle and Sheep: 5-15ml per head daily. Beef cattle can be administered at 20-40ml per 100kg of feed. Dairy cattle may require increased doses during the peripartum period or at peak lactation.
    • Pets: Dosage must be determined by a veterinarian based on body weight and the severity of the deficiency, typically 0.1-0.5ml per kg body weight.

Dosage by Growth Stage:

  • Young/Growing Animals: Vitamins A and D are crucial for growth and bone formation, especially in preventing rickets. Vitamin E supports muscle development and immunity. Dosages are typically higher than for maintenance.
  • Breeding Animals (Studs, Breeding Sows/Dams): Vitamins A and E are essential for reproductive performance (sperm vitality, ovarian function, embryonic survival). Vitamin D supports calcium and phosphorus metabolism, beneficial for fetal bone development and milk production. Additional supplementation is often needed before and during the breeding period.
  • Lactating/High-Producing Animals: Although fat-soluble vitamins are not lost as quickly as water-soluble vitamins, high-producing animals have generally increased nutritional demands and may require maintenance or slightly higher than regular doses to support production and maintain health.
  • Stress or Disease Recovery Periods: Increased supplementation helps support the immune system and accelerate recovery.

Applicable Diseases and Symptoms:

Vitamin A+D+E preparations are primarily used for the prevention and treatment of deficiencies, and as an adjunctive therapy to improve overall animal health and production performance:

  • Vitamin A Deficiency:
    • Night blindness, eye inflammation, and even blindness.
    • Stunted growth, poor development.
    • Keratinization of skin and mucous membranes, increased susceptibility to infections (especially respiratory, digestive, and urogenital tracts).
    • Reproductive disorders (e.g., retained placenta, low conception rate, stillbirths).
  • Vitamin D Deficiency:
    • Young Animals: Rickets (softening and deformation of bones, swollen joints).
    • Adult Animals: Osteomalacia (decreased bone strength, increased susceptibility to fractures).
    • Poor eggshell quality, decreased egg production (poultry).
  • Vitamin E Deficiency:
    • Muscular dystrophy (e.g., “crazy chick disease,” white muscle disease in calves and lambs).
    • Myocardial lesions.
    • Reproductive disorders (infertility, early embryonic death).
    • Weakened immunity, low disease resistance.
    • Liver damage.
  • Immunity Enhancement: Vitamins A and E are important immune modulators that help enhance animals’ resistance to diseases.
  • Anti-stress: Supplementation with Vitamins A, D, and E helps reduce stress responses during transport, weaning, vaccination, disease recovery, etc.
  • Promotes Growth and Improves Production Performance: Improves feed conversion rates and increases meat, egg, and milk production and quality.

Precautions:

  • Risk of Fat-Soluble Vitamin Overdose: Vitamins A, D, and E are fat-soluble and can accumulate in the body, leading to toxicity. Strict adherence to recommended dosages is crucial; do not arbitrarily increase doses.
  • Homogenous Mixing: When administered orally, ensure the medication is thoroughly mixed in drinking water or feed to ensure all animals receive the proper dose.
  • Interactions with Other Drugs:
    • Care should be taken when using concurrently with mineral supplements (e.g., calcium, phosphorus) to maintain balance.
    • Certain medications (e.g., mineral oil laxatives) may interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dark place, protected from light. Prolonged exposure to light, air, or high temperatures may reduce potency. Use promptly after opening.
  • Withdrawal Period: Some countries and regions may have withdrawal period regulations for preparations containing high doses of vitamins; local regulations should be followed.

Contraindications:

  • Hypervitaminosis: Contraindicated in animals with existing hypervitaminosis A/D/E or known signs of toxicity.
  • Severe Hepatic or Renal Impairment: Animals with severe liver or kidney dysfunction may have impaired metabolism and excretion of fat-soluble vitamins; use with caution or contraindicate.
  • Known Hypersensitivity: Contraindicated in animals with known hypersensitivity reactions to any component of the product.

Post-Administration Care:

  • Observe Feed and Water Intake: Ensure animals can normally eat and drink after medication is mixed with feed/water, ensuring full uptake of the drug.
  • Improve Husbandry Management: Vitamin supplementation is an auxiliary measure; healthy feed formulations, good housing conditions, and management are fundamental to preventing vitamin deficiencies.
  • Regular Assessment: For animals with chronic deficiencies, conduct regular clinical examinations and necessary laboratory tests (e.g., serum vitamin levels) to assess treatment efficacy and adjust the supplementation plan.
  • Balanced Nutrition: Ensure the animal receives comprehensive and balanced nutrition, not just vitamin supplementation.
  • Record Keeping: Accurately record medication information, including dosage, date, lot number, and animal’s response.
