Endogenous phosphorus loss in ruminants: A review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phosphorus (P), a major mineral in animal nutrition is currently a focus of the livestock industry. This is because of its high fecal excretion by livestock and the subsequent environmental pollution, especially in the eutrophication of lakes and surface water. Areas of intensive animal husbandry and dairy farms where P is fed in excess are particularly affected. Ruminants must be fed according to precise net requirement to reduce excessive loss in feces. The knowledge of fecal endogenous loss is necessary to precise maintenance P requirement. Variation exists in the endogenous fecal loss and P availability values in feedstuffs among different countries. Quantitative information on these indices is needed. Salivary P, dry matter intake and physical nature of diets are major determinants of endogenous P loss but the mechanisms surrounding their role are yet to be clearly defined. Uniform, precise and acceptable method of estimating endogenous P loss in ruminants is to be developed. A lot of studies have been carried out on P metabolism in recent times but some aspects of the metabolism in ruminants are poorly understood. This review attempts to discuss these problems in the light of past and recent findings on P loss with a view to exploring areas for further research.

III. Quantitative aspects of phosphorus excretion in ruminants.
Ruminant phosphorus excretion and metabolism were studied through a database. Faecal endogenous phosphorus is the main pathway of phosphorus excretion and averages 0.85 of total faecal phosphorus. The remaining 0.15 is unabsorbed dietary phosphorus. Faecal endogenous phosphorus is mainly unabsorbed phosphorus, with saliva being the major source, and is correlated to factors influencing saliva s...
متن کاملRumen Degradability and Model Prediction of Nutrient Supply to Ruminants from Different Processed Soybean Meals
DVE2010 system was used for model prediction of nutrient supply to ruminants from soy bean meal (SBM), extruded soy bean meal (SBE) and full-fat soybean meal (FSBM). Extruded soy bean meal had the highest truly absorbed rumen undegraded protein in the small intestine (ARUP) followed by SBM and FSBM. There was no significant difference between SBE and FSBM in the case of truly absorbed rumen syn...
متن کاملThe Effect of Phytase Enzyme on the Performance of Broiler Flock (A-Review)
From the last few years, the inclusion of microbial phytase in poultry diets has increased significantly, mainly in response to heightened concerns over phosphorus pollution of the environment and as cheaper means to make phosphorus available to birds from phytate. Phytate is the major form of phosphorus, abundantly found in cereal grains, beans and oilseed meals used in poultry diet but the mo...
متن کاملPhytase: A Boom in Food Industry
Phytate [myo-inositol(1,2,3,4,5,6)hexakisphosphate] have been considered negative in food industry as it is the main storage form of phosphorus (P) in many plants but this phytate-bound P is not available to non – ruminants as they don’t have these endogenous enzyme and hence the availability and digestibility of phytate phosphorous is very low in these animals. Phytic acid has antinutrients be...
متن کاملEffect of feeding rate on nutrient digestibility in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
A digestibility trial was conducted to examine the effect of feeding rate on dry matter, gross energy, crude protein and phosphorus digestibility in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Duplicate groups of fish were fed 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.9% BW/day. The faeces were collected by Guelph-type collectors for five successive days. Dry matter, protein and phosphorus digestibility’s wer...
