| Deficiency causes poor growth in lambs. | Molybdenum deficiency |
| Organic compounds essential for normal metabolism, growth, and reproduction. | Vitamins |
| Distinct from other nutrients in structure, utilization, and metabolism. | Definition of vitamins |
| Required in minute amounts and essential for health. | Vitamin requirement |
| Cannot be synthesized by animals in sufficient quantities; must be obtained from diet. | Vitamin synthesis limitation |
| Fat-soluble vitamins include A, D, E, and K. | Fat-soluble vitamins |
| Water-soluble vitamins include B-complex and C. | Water-soluble vitamins |
| Also known as retinol; prevents night blindness and xerophthalmia. | Vitamin A |
| Also called the anti-rachitic factor; includes D2 and D3 forms. | Vitamin D |
| Known as tocopherols; prevent sterility. | Vitamin E |
| Known as anti-hemorrhagic vitamins; includes K2 and K3. | Vitamin K |
| Also called thiamine; prevents polyneuritis in birds. | Vitamin B1 |
| Also called riboflavin; prevents curled toe paralysis. | Vitamin B2 |
| Also called niacin; prevents black tongue and dermatitis. | Vitamin B3 |
| Also called choline; prevents perosis (slipped tendon) in chicks. | Vitamin B4 |
| Also called pantothenic acid; prevents goose-stepping in pigs. | Vitamin B5 |
| Also called pyridoxine; prevents dermatitis, alopecia, and convulsions. | Vitamin B6 |
| Also called biotin; prevents severe dermatitis. | Vitamin B7 |
| Also called inositol; lowers cholesterol and reduces liver fat. | Vitamin B8 |
| Also called folic acid; prevents macrocytic and megaloblastic anemia. | Vitamin B9 |
| Also known as PABA; precursor for folic acid synthesis. | Vitamin B10 |
| Also called anti-gizzoid erosion factor; related to folic acid activity. | Vitamin B11 |
| Also called cyanocobalamin; prevents pernicious anemia. | Vitamin B12 |
| Also called ascorbic acid; prevents scurvy. | Vitamin C |
| Contains C, H, and O; stored in liver and associated with fats. | Fat-soluble vitamin characteristics |
