Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for aquatic animals comprising as active ingredient 25-hydroxyvitamin D, preferably 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25-OH D3). The present invention further relates to the use of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, preferably 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH D3), as feed additive for aquatic animals including fish and shrimp. More particular, this invention relates to the use of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, preferably 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH D3), for improving feed utilization and growth and performance parameters of the animals, such as the feed conversion ratio (FOR). Immunity, protein efficiency ratio (PER), specific growth rate (SGR), final body weight, feed efficiency (FE), nutrient utilization, body protein content, and/or carcass yield and/or for increasing levels of Vitamin D, preferably Vitamin D3, in the blood of aquatic animals.
