Dietary supplementation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol improves cardiac function and livability in broiler breeder hens–amelioration of blood pressure and vascular remodeling

A supplement of 69 μg 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH-D3)/kg feed suppressed the mortality in feed-restricted broiler breeder hens and in hens allowed ad libitum feed intake (Ad-hens) in a feeding trial from age 26 to 60 wk.
