Table 1 Percentage distribution of the general condition 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-dihydroxyvitamin 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 day 1 to day 5 after farrowing. No significant differences between the two groups were observed
