Even with an adequate supply of vitamin A, a β-carotene deficiency can lead to serious fertility problems and a weakened immune response. The β-carotene content in fresh grass is very variable and decreases significantly during ensiling. Corn silage, hay and straw are also not good sources of β-carotene. That is why regular supplementary feeding is essential, especially in the case of silage-heavy rations or during the winter.
