Phosphorus levels for growing and finishing swine

Levels of calcium and phosphorus for growing-finishing swine.

Effects of dietary protein, calcium and phosphorus levels for growing and finishing swine.

A factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design was conducted with 192 pigs to evaluate the effects of two levels of d i e t a r y ca l c ium:phospho rus (.90/.70 or .65/.50%, respectively) in an 18% protein diet for growing swine (19 to 52 kg). Animals were then continued to market weight being fed one of two levels of calcium:phosphorus ( .65/.50 or .50/.40%, respectively) each a...

Energy, nitrogen, and phosphorus digestibility of growing and finishing swine diets containing distiller’s dried grains

Two nutrient balance trials were conducted to determine the digestibility of energy, nitrogen, and phosphorus of Minnesota-South Dakota (MNSD) produced distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in grower and finisher diets. Sixteen pigs weighing 28.6 ± 2.2 kg in Exp. 1 and 16 pigs weighing 84.4 ± 6.2 kg in Exp. 2, were randomly assigned to one of four corn-soybean meal based dietary treatme...

Another Look at Calcium & Phosphorus Levels in Diets for Growing - Finishing Pigs

In addition to their role in the development and maintenance of the skeleton in pigs, calcium and phosphorus are involved in many other physiological processes. In practical swine diets, calcium can be considered an inexpensive nutrient. Phosphorus, on the other hand, is the third most expensive nutrient after energy and protein (amino acids). As the utilization of phosphorus in swine diets is ...
