BACKGROUND With the development of intensive farming, long-term exposure of pigs to poor light conditions is not conducive to the production of vitamin D3 , and vitamin D3 deficiency could affect absorption and metabolism of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25OHD3 ) has higher bioactivity than regular vitamin D3 . This study was to investigate the effects of 25OHD3 on performance, serum parameters, fecal microbiota and metabolites in weaned piglets fed with low Ca-P diet. RESULTS NC + 25-D improved (P < 0.05) average daily gain (ADG) in phase 2 and overall period, as well as increased (P < 0.05) serum contents of immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin A (IgA), catalase (CAT), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and osteocalcin (OC) on day 28 compared with NC, but no differences were observed between PC and NC + 25-D. Compared with NC, the abundance of Firmicutes was higher (P < 0.05) in PC and NC + 25-D. NC + 25-D decreased (P < 0.05) the abundance of Streptococcaceae compared with PC and NC, and increased (P < 0.05) the abundance of Lachnospiraceae compared with NC. Serum 25OHD3 was negatively correlated with the abundance of fecal Streptococcaceae (P < 0.05), and positively correlated with the abundance of fecal Lachnospiraceae (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Supplementation of 25OHD3 in low Ca-P diet improved serum immunity, bone biochemical parameters and fecal microbiota such as decreased Streptococcaceae abundance and increased Lachnospiraceae abundance, which could subsequently promote growth of piglets, and the effects were similar to that of normal Ca-P diet.
