Impaired B12 production can negatively affect an animal's metabolic processes, ultimately reducing appetite and thereby decreasing Dry Matter Intake (DMI). Vitamin B12 is essential for proper digestion and nutrient absorption; if its production is hindered, animals may experience a reduced ability to efficiently utilize feed, leading to lower feed consumption.
