Abstract
Pregnant beef heifers, housed indoors and fed grass silage, were used as controls or treated prepartum with vitamin D3 or 25-hydroxycholecalciferol. Four months after birth, calves from treated dams were significantly heavier. Plasma calcium in calves was unaffected by treatments, while magnesium and phosphorus were only affected in the first week of life. Key words: Cattle, vitamin D, growth, blood composition
