Dietary requirements of available phosphorus in growing broiler chickens at a constant calcium:available phosphorus ratio

Abstract: Four experiments were conducted to study the requirements of available phosphorus (aP) for commercial male broilers of 1-10 day of age (exp.1), 11-21 days of age (exp. 2), 22-33 day of age (exp. 3) and 34-46 days of age (exp. 4), at a constant calcium:aP ratio. A complete randomized design was used in each experiment. The experimental diets were fed ad libitum to 8 replicate groups of ten broilers in each. The increments in the levels of aP ranged from 2.0 to 5.5 g/kg (exp. 1), 1.9 to 5.4 g/kg (exp. 2), 1.8 to… Show more

“…Similar negative effects of a low dietary P concentration on performance were observed in other studies as well (Leske and Coon, 2002; Yan and Waldroup, 2006; Mello et al ., 2012). A difference in pcdP digestibility for MCP was observed between Experiment 1 (88.0%) and Experiment 2 (78.3%).…”

“…Despite decades of research investigating dietary concentrations of Ca and nPP required for optimum broiler performance, there is still no general agreement on what the appropriate concentrations of these two minerals and/or their relative proportions should be. Though Ca and P are interrelated in many biological functions, the requirement of these minerals is interdependent (Mello et al, 2012). Commercially, broilers are rarely, if ever, fed Ca concentrations recommended by the NRC (1994) and actual Ca intake is most probably 20% below these recommendations (Driver et al, 2005).…”

“…No differences in BW and FCR were observed between the diets with different pcdP concentrations. Smilarly, (Leske and Coon, 2002;Yan and Waldroup;2006;Mello et al, 2012;Bikker et al, 2016) found that negative effect of the diets containing low P levels on growth performance. There was no differences between P sources (either DCP or MCP).…”
