25 Effects of dietary 25-hydroxyvitamin D (HyD ) on vitamin D metabolism and immunity of dairy cows Hypothesis: Increased serum concentrations of 25D that result from feeding 25D will improve innate immunity of dairy cattle. Cows and treatments: Sixty Holstein cows ( DIM, pregnant) randomly assigned to four treatment groups based on parity and milk yield. -1mgD: supplement containing 1 mg (40,000 IU) vitamin D 3-1mgHyD: supplement containing 1 mg 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3-3mgD: supplement containing 3 mg (120,000 IU) vitamin D 3-3mgHyD: supplement containing 3 mg 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 Treatments fed individually for 28 days.
