As shown previously, laying hens given 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 as their sole source of vitamin D produce fertile eggs having normal shells, but only 35 to 55 percent of the embryos are normal. Giving these hens additional 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, or 24,24-difluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 at 1.25 nanomoles per day resulted in 90 to 100 percent normal embryos, and hence, hatchability. Since 24,24-difluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 cannot be 24-hydroxylated, 24-hydroxylation is not required for this function of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.
如先前所示,以1,25 - 二羟基维生素D3作为唯一维生素D来源的产蛋母鸡产出的蛋具有正常的蛋壳且可育,但只有35%至55%的胚胎是正常的。每天给这些母鸡额外补充1.25纳摩尔的25 - 羟基维生素D3、24,25 - 二羟基维生素D3或24,24 - 二氟 - 25 - 羟基维生素D3,会使90%至100%的胚胎正常,从而孵化率也正常。由于24,24 - 二氟 - 25 - 羟基维生素D3不能进行24 - 羟化,所以25 - 羟基维生素D3的这一功能不需要24 - 羟化。
