Percentage distribution of the quantity of the vaginal discharge (No = no signs of vaginal discharge, Slight = slight vaginal discharge and Severe = severe vaginal discharge, tail and perineal region contaminated with vaginal discharge)of the two study groups (C = negative control group, received no feed additive and 1,25-vitD = 1,25-vitD group, received a defined amount of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-glycosides: 1th to 84th gestation day: 26 g 1,25-vitD per day; 85th gestation day until farrowing: 30 g 1,25-vitD per day; during the lactation period: 70 g 1,25-vitD per day) from day 1 to day 5 after farrowing. No significant differences between the two groups were observed
