Cod Liver Oil is Vits A and D with some Omega 3.  Because of the Vit A in
particular, it needs to be used in moderation as A can be toxic in high
doses.  (Codliver oil should also not be fed during the first to thirds of
pregnancy as too much Vit A can be dangerous to the foetal health during
this period). Vit D is provided by sunlight so is for the most part not
really necessary to supplement, although a little codliver oil can be useful
during winter in areas where there is minimal daylight.  A fish body oil
supplement such as salmon oil is a much better source of Omega 3 if that is
what you are trying to provide.
