Description

Vitamin A is essential for all cattle. The vitamin does not occur naturally in feeds of plant origin. Many cattle are never fed vitamin A as such but do not develop a deficiency of the vitamin. The reason for this is that many feeds (pasture, good quality hay, silage, and yellow com) furnish carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the animal body.
