Riboflavin Deficiency in Baby Pigs

    May 1952 in “ Journal of Animal Science

    TLDR Riboflavin deficiency in baby pigs causes health issues, and while supplements help, they may not fully fix internal problems.
    Riboflavin deficiency in baby pigs leads to symptoms such as alopecia, poor growth, and dermatitis. Supplementing 1 to 1.5 mg of riboflavin daily for 16 days resolved external symptoms but did not fully correct internal tissue changes, possibly due to inadequate dosage or duration.
