The apparent calcium (Ca) digestibility coefficient (ADC) and true (TDC) of different inorganic sources were determined in laying hens ages. Three Ca tests carried out, each assessing 240 Lohmann Brown lineage distributed a completely randomized design. Nine dietary treatments arranged 3 × factorial design consisting three ages (40, 50 70 weeks) (dicalcium phosphate (DCP) sources, fine (FL) coa...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the requirement of available P (aP) of pigs selected for high lean deposition during summer (maximum and minimum temperatures of 29.8 ± 3.6 and 21.3 ± 1.1°C, respectively; Exp. 1) and winter (maximum and minimum temperatures of 24.7 ± 2.1 and 9.1 ± 1.6°C, respectively; Exp. 2). Pigs (66.5 ± 2.8 kg, Exp. 1; and 61.1 ± 0.6 kg, Exp. 2) were randomly allo...

Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAp) and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (Ca(H2PO4)2, DCPA) were coated onto titanium substrates using the thermal substrate method in an aqueous solution containing calcium and phosphate ions at 150◦C with pH values in the range 4–8. Specimens with the HAp and DCPA layer were immersed in a simulated body fluid (SBF) to examine the dissolution and induced HAp grow...

Ruminal bacteria and protozoa provide excellent organic phosphorus (P) sources for the host animal. This experiment was conducted to compare the bioavailability of bacterial and protozoal P in comparison with that of dicalcium phosphate (DCP) as a reference phosphorus source. Bacteria and protozoa were isolated from the rumen contents of dairy cows and the chick-model was used to determine the ...

Solid titration was used to explore the solubility isotherms of partially (Srx-HAp, x=1, 5, 10, 40, 60 mol.%) and fully substituted strontium hydroxyapatite (Sr-HAp). Solubility increased with increasing strontium content. No phase other than strontium-substituted HAp, corresponding to the original titrant, was detected in the solid present at equilibrium; in particular, dicalcium hydrogen phos...

Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) sets in situ and forms apatite with excellent osteoconductivity and bone-replacement capability. The objectives of this study were to formulate an injectable tetracalcium phosphate-dicalcium phosphate cement (CPC(D)), and investigate the powder/liquid ratio and needle-size effects. The injection force (mean +/- SD; n = 4) to extrude the paste increased from (8 +/-...
