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...

Ammonium polyphosphate as a source of phosphorus and nonprotein nitrogen for monogastrics.

Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was substituted for 0, 50 and 100% of the P supplied by defluorinated rock phosphate (DRP) in corn-soybean meal diets for growing rats and growing-finishing (G-F) pigs. The diets were formulated to contain 10% protein, .75% Ca and .60% P. Two-thirds of the P in the control diet was supplied by DRP. Replacement of 50 or 100% of the DRP with APP increased the dietary ...
