Rabbits Need Natural Vitamins to forestall Toxicity
Vitamins A and D
Vitamine
Rabbits are very sensitive to the active form of vitamin D (D3). It has been used as a poison for pest control. Rabbits use vitamin D3 to actively suck in calcium and limit its excretion when calcium levels are low in their diet. If their diet has high amounts of vitamin D3 and calcium it will lead to health developmental problems and perhaps death.
It is best to allow rabbits entrance to natural day light because the Uv rays stimulate the formation of the natural vitamin D3 precursor (vitamin D2) in the skin. They can also ingest natural vitamin D2 from natural sun-cured plants like alfalfa found in high ability rabbit food. Then the rabbit can change it on an as needed basis.
The ratio of vitamin D to vitamin A is leading because they interact with each other and work like hormones. These vitamins are also fat soluble and can be "stored" for later use. Rabbits also are very efficient at converting natural carotenoids (like beta carotene) into vitamin A. If the rabbit food your rabbits eat has added synthetic vitamin A and D3 it is inherent for these two vitamins to build up into toxic levels in the body. This is especially true if the vitamin A is added without regard for the natural carotenoids already gift in the feed. A rabbit food label will only give you data for the number of synthetic vitamin A added.
Vitamin E
Synthetic vitamin E contains varied "chiral stereoisomers," or separate forms of vitamin E. The proximity of these other forms dilutes the efficient dosage a feed may claim to have, especially if the other forms are not as bioavailable as the natural form.
Recommended dosages for vitamin E increased over the years. Minimum amounts are needed to forestall nutritional muscular dystrophy, reproduction problems, and other health issues. Now, current research reveals many benefits when increasing the dosage of vitamin E rabbits get in their diet.
Natural vitamin E is found in whole oil seeds from plants. This is because the ratio of oil to vitamin E is important. Adding add refined oil (lacking in vitamin E) to rabbit food can cause deficiencies.
The B-Vitamins, Vitamin K and C
Rabbits are able to produce many of the B-vitamins and vitamin K they need (good bacteria in the caecum produce them) if they get a high fiber diet. This does not mean that they get all that they need! research shows that rabbits benefit with increased feed efficiency and growth by adding obvious B-vitamins to their diet. Salutary rabbit can make adequate of their own vitamin C.
