Abstrakt: Forty-two Japanese Black cattle on two farms in Kagoshima prefecture, Japan were used in this study. The rearing style of farm A was in a dark barn with a large roof to block sunlight (n=21). The rearing style of farm B was grazing, and exposed to direct sunlight (n=21). Blood sampling was performed twice on the same cattle in August 2022 (summer) and February 2023 (winter). As the results, the serum 25(OH)D 3 concentrations were significantly lower in cattle of farm A than in cattle of farm B (P<0.01), and were significantly lower in winter season than in summer season (P<0.01). These results showed that there were differences in blood 25(OH)D 3 concentrations between the farms or seasons.
