Musilova A., Lichovnikova M., Kupcikova L., Anderle V. (2017): Effect of suboptimal levels of non-phytate phosphorus and exogenous phytase on precaecal digestibility of phosphorus and calcium in laying hens. Czech J. Anim. Sci., 62, 473–481. The precaecal digestibility of phosphorus and calcium in laying hens was evaluated at two dietary levels of non-phytate phosphorus (NPP; 1.58 and 2.03 g/kg...

The rebuilding of the phosphorus cycle can be performed with the use of both biotechnology and chemical technology. This paper presents a review of the phosphorus cycle and the different approaches that can be taken to the recovery of phosphorus from phosphate-rich waste. Critical issues in the phosphorus cycle are also discussed. Methods for the recovery of phosphorus form sewage sludge ash ar...

The majority of the published data dealing with blood calcium and phosphorus changes in rickets is based upon blood determinations made after the appearance of rickets. Values obtained after the symptoms of rickets are evident do not show when t,he reduction in the calcium and phosphorus first t.akes place. A true understanding of the relation of vitamin D t,o these blood changes can be obtaine...

The influence of cultivar and crop year on mineral components of apple fruits was investigated using three cultivars cultivated at Morioka Branch, Fruit Tree Research Station in 1980 to 1982. The mineral components measured were 9 elmemts, i.e. sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, and phosphorus. The potassium, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus contents were ...

background: microwave thermotherapy has been gradually used in radiotherapy and it is reported that microwave radiation increases bone demineralization rate independently of temperature. furthermore, it becomes more and more widespread that the damage caused by the synergistic effect of microwave radiation and hypergravity. the experiment was designed to investigate the effect of microwave radi...

summer pruning and calcium spray could improve kiwifruits quality. in this study, effect of summer pruning in two times, 2 and 15 days after petal fall alone or in combination with %1 calcium chloride spray on fruit quality and mineral elements contents of ‘hayward’ kiwifruit was investigated. calcium sprayed four times 90 days after petal fall with 15 days intervals. the results showed that su...
