Phosphorus is an essential nutrient, occurring in most foods both as a natural component and as an approved ingredient added during food processing. With an increase in the consumption of processed foods over the past decades in the United States, phosphorus consumption has increased and far exceeds the nutrient requirement of most men and women (1). Much of our understanding about the potentia...

Yoghurt is a fermented dairy product with conspicuous consumption around the world due to its pronounced health benefits. defined as food produced by culturing milk in controlled conditions that contain lactic acid-producing bacteria (Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus. Consumer acceptability of high benefits and sensory attributes. It provides 40% calcium 30-45% phosphorus da...

Adequate amounts of soil phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are needed to support sustained corn and soybean production. These requirements have been recognized for a long time, and soil testing is a useful tool to estimate P and K fertilization needs. Obviously, fertilizer applications to low-testing soils increase grain yield and result in economic benefits for crop producers. Continued P and K...

A cooperative study comprising growth performance, bone mineralization, and nutrient balance experiments was conducted at 11 stations to determine the standardized total-tract digestible (STTD) P requirement of 20-kg pigs using broken-line regression analysis. Monocalcium phosphate and limestone were added to a corn–soybean meal–based diet at the expense of cornstarch to establish 6 concentrati...

Agricultural systems often require added phosphorus to achieve optimum crop and livestock production. The application of soil amendments, such as inorganic fertilizers, manure, biosolids, and waste water, can improve soil fertility and help produce optimum crop yields. However, many of these amendments, particularly organic materials such as animal manure, are often applied in excess of crop nu...

The role of calcium and phosphorus in animal nutrition has received much attention in recent years, and many studies have been made to determine the need of these minerals in the nutrition of the pig. Much of the work has dealt with deficient rations and means of correcting the deficiencies. Recently the individual minimum requirements of these minerals have received the attention of investigat...

The molecular structures of a family of eight aminodifluorophosphines, (PF2)NRR'(R, R' = H, CH3, SiH3, GeH3, PF2), have been redetermined using gas-phase electron diffraction data and high-level ab initio molecular-orbital calculations. The SARACEN method has allowed the application of flexible restraints, giving greater accuracy and precision of structure, while the SHRINK program has allowed ...

A comparative slaughter trial was conducted to estimate the phosphorus (P) requirement for maintenance and growth of crossbred lambs of Dorper with a Chinese indigenous sheep breed, thin-tailed Han sheep. Thirty-five Dorper×thin-tailed Han crossbred, noncastrated ram lambs (20.3±0.22 kg of shrunk body weight (SBW)) were used. Seven lambs were randomly chosen and slaughtered at 20 kg SBW as the ...
