The B complex vitamins are water soluble and not stored to any significant extent in the body. They act in a broad range of metabolic pathways. A continuous supply is required, damage to the intestine or increased demand for some reason may have an effect. Most will reduce productivity, including growth in young birds, and egg production in the layer. The embryo is particularly dependent on having adequate supplies of vitamins deposited in the egg. Vitamin deficiencies are especially prone to cause problems of hatchability.
Signs may be: Dermatitis/Scaly Skin, Anemia, Fatty Liver and Kidney Syndrome, Poor Feathering, Loose feathers, Hatchability problems, Embryo with clubbed down. Adequate supplementation of the feed with all required vitamins in levels which both support normal productivity but also have enough overage to deal with the increased demands that often occur during periods of disease challenge. If a specific vitamin deficiency is suspected, drinking water supplementation with that vitamin is ideal and usually results in a rapid response in birds that are still drinking. Good quality multivitamin solutions are beneficial in the supportive care of a range of problems characterized by reduced feed intake. The balance of vitamins present should be similar to the daily nutritional requirement of the birds concerned.
