NGS-Muscle of swine supplemented with cholecalciferol and 25(OH)D. NGS-Muscle of swine supplemented with cholecalciferol and 25(OH)D

According to RNA-seq results, application of vitamin D in the form of 25(OH)D in swine diet can be beneficial for myogenesis, energy production and muscle fibre formation by influencing TOR signalling pathway. However, the use of vitamin D in the form of 25(OH)D may reduce muscle respiratory capacity. Overall design: Effect of different doses of cholecalciferol and calcidiol on pork quality parameters and transcriptome profiles of skeletal muscle of swine. The vitamin D dosage of the groups was as follows : 1 group (control group) 2000 IU cholecalciferol (grower) and 1500 IU cholecalciferol/ kg feed (finisher)- 8 individuals, 2 group 3000IU cholecalciferol (grower) and 2500 IU cholecalciferol/ kg feed (finisher)- 10 individuals, 3 group 2000 IU cholecalciferol + 1000 IU 25(OH)D3 (grower) and 1500 IU cholecalciferol + 1000 IU 25(OH)D3/kg feed (finisher)- 8 individuals, 4 group 2000 IU 25(OH)D3 (grower) and 1500 IU 25(OH)D3/kg feed (finisher)- 8 individuals
