Abstract:This study was conducted to investigate the influence of boron (B) supplementation in rats fed diets with adequate and deficit calcium (Ca). A feeding trial of 90 days duration was conducted in 84 Wistar strain rats divided into 7 groups, viz. Normal-Ca (100%) basal diet (NC) and supplemented with B at 5 (NCB-5), 10 (NCB-10), 20 (NCB-20) and 40 (NCB-40) ppm levels; low-Ca (50%) diet (LC) and supplemented with 40 ppm B (LCB-40). During 80–85 days of feeding, a digestibility trial was conducted to record nutrien… Show more
