A study looked at gene expression related to vitamin D metabolism and FGF23 signaling in pigs on different P diets. Different tissues contribute to vitamin D synthesis, and dietary P levels affect gene expression. Another study found that UVB exposure can improve vitamin D status in pigs. A literature review compared the effects of vitamin D3 and 25(OH)D3 on pig health, showing benefits of 25(OH)D3 for growth, immunity, and bone development in piglets.
