Water-soluble vitamins
The B-complex vitamins are water-soluble vitamins and are required as co-enzymes in several metabolic processes. The B vitamins added in swine diets are riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B12. In addition, folic acid, pyridoxine, choline, and biotin are included in sow diets due to the influence of these vitamins on reproductive performance.
