Rectal body temperature (°C) of the two study groups (C = negative control group, received no feed additive and 1,25-vitD = 1,25-vitD group, received a defined amount of 1,25-dihdroxyvitamin D3-glycosides: 1th to 84th gestation day: 26 g 1,25-vitD per day; 85th gestation day until farrowing: 30 g 1,25-vitD per day; during the lactation period: 70 g 1,25-vitD per day) from 1 to day 5 after farrowing. In all days postpartum, the body temperature was significant lower in group 1,25-vitD compared to group C (p < 0.05)
