O'Neil, Jayde; Scarrott, Bethany; Svalheim, Ragnhild Aven; Elliot, Jonathan; Hodges, Stephen J.Abstract
The role of vitamin K in animal health has not received much attention. Vitamin K studies have, for the most part, addressed the use of animals in the investigation of vitamin K physiology and pathophysiology, often using the rodent as a model system. However, vitamin K performs the same role in animals as it does in man and there are areas, such as animal nutrition, where a better understanding of animal requirements in general, and with ageing, could benefit animal health and continued well‐being.
