All Species require different amount of vitamins. Not all species has same vitamin reqiuirements. Your statement means exactly the same. There are different vitamins required in different amounts by different species.For example,
The vitamin requirement of a human being is different from that of a potato or Solanum tuberosum. etc

Not all species require all vitamins.
I did my research on vitamin C. Only humans, primates, and guinea pigs need it. We discovered an enzyme-mono dehydro ascorbic acid transhydrogenase.

Different kinds of animals need different kinds and amounts of vitamins. So, their vitamin requirements (how much they need) are specific to their species.
I hope that this helps.
