- Many feedstuffs and forages do not provide the dietary vitamins necessary for optimum growth and development, making supplementation necessary.

Fourteen essential vitamins are discussed with information on requirements in various species, deficiency symptoms, metabolism, indications of hypervitaminosis, and safe dosages.
