This is the crux of it I think.
We store fat soluble vitamins (like D) when we get adequate sun exposure or get a dietary or supplementary source. Pigs it seems also need the sun (and sadly in your local piggery, the pigs might never see the sun at all  )
Other animals such as fish can produce Vit D from their diet ... if it is a natural one including algae, lichen or grass (hence farmed salmon are a poor source)
