This study aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of in ovo injection of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25(OH)D3) on early growth, immune and tibia development in Daheng broilers. The results showed that 25(OH)D3 can significantly improve the hatchability of broilers and improve body weight (p 0.05). Our data suggested that 25(OH)D3 has positive effects on the early growth, immune, bone development of broiler during the early stage, which is a supplement to improve disease resistance and skeletal development of broilers.
