Abstract There are abundant limestone resources in Weibei area. However, under the influence of a complex geological environment and harsh external environment, they often suffer from various types serious disasters, which seriously threaten safety people mining area development resources. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out relevant governance. Firstly, combined with field engineering data ty...

Two experiments were conducted to compare a sample of calcium citrate-malate (CC-M) with a sample of commercial-grade limestone in starting broiler chick diets. In the first experiment, with 0.7 or 0.9% calcium from limestone or CC-M, no differences in bone development (dry fat-free tibia, tibia weight, tibia ash, or tibia calcium) were observed due to calcium source. However, chicks fed the di...

A 112-day trial was carried out to evaluate the effect of dietary calcium level and limestone particle size on the egg quality of 288 HyLine Brown semi-heavy layers, with 83 weeks of age at the beginning of the experiment. A completely randomized experimental design was applied in a 2x3 factorial arrangement, with two dietary calcium levels (3.5 and 4.0%) e three limestone particle size composi...

Limestone dust is generally regarded as being relatively harmless. In this paper I wish to record eight cases of pneumoconiosis in limestone workers, in all of which limestone played the sole or principal aetiological part. My attention was first drawn to the condition in November, 1950, when I saw the chest radiograph of a patient whose occupation was limestone crushing. The appearances were m...

Effects were evaluated of high dietary levels of magnesium oxide (MgO) or limestone on DM, OM and CP digestibility, N balance and intestinal absorption of amino acids by lambs fed a high concentrate diet. Twelve wether lambs equipped with abomasal and ileal cannulas were blocked by weight and breeding and allotted to treatments in a randomized block design in two consecutive trials. Diets were ...
