Show Substitute for Sunshine The reason poultry experts often recommend cod liver oil as a substitute substi-tute for sunshine is because It !s rich In vitamin D, a growth and vigor factor with great tonic properties. This Is explained by the fact that the codfish from which It is obtained lives In northern seas where the sun shines for long periods. It obtains Its food from micro-organisms and plants that absorb ultra-violet rays of the sun and the fish stores up the vitamins vita-mins In its vital organs, principally the liver. No other fish is able to store equal quantities. It Is said. Cod liver oil fed to breeding hens increases fertility and hntchnhllity. When fed to young stock, stronger and quicker growth results. |
