One percent, or one pint per hundred pounds of mash.
In a bulletin from 1924 I found cod liver oil being added as a preventative of rickets, which is a B vitamin deficiency. Cod liver oil is also high in Vitamins A and D. I have used it in feed from time to time with good results and have treated pink eye in cattle with it.

I treated pink eye in our milk cow with 20ml cod liver oil. 3ml in each eye and the rest down her throat. I got this from Pat Colby's book, and it worked in the case of the milk cow. For my beef stock I've found as long as I keep kelp in front of them they never have pink eye.
