Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in blood clotting, bone health, and cardiovascular health. In farm animals, a deficiency of vitamin K can cause delayed blood clotting. This means that animals with vitamin K deficiency may experience prolonged bleeding and bruising, which can be life-threatening.
However, vitamin K deficiency does not cause night blindness, sterility in both sexes, or delayed ovulation. Night blindness is usually caused by a deficiency in vitamin A, while sterility can be caused by a variety of factors, such as hormonal imbalances, infections, or genetic abnormalities. Delayed ovulation, on the other hand, can be caused by factors such as stress, poor nutrition, or hormonal imbalances.
