It was performed three trials to determine the nutritional levels of available phosphorus (aP) for males and females of the strain ISA Label in the starter (1 to 28 days), growing (28 to 56 days) and finisher (56 to 84 days) phases, reared in a free-range system. In each trial, 480 birds with age corresponding to rearing phase were housed in 24 experimental units with shelter and pasture areas. It was used a complete random experimental design, in a 4 […]

The objective of this work was to determine the available phosphorus requirement of Nile tilapia. A total of 144 fishes with initial weight 35.33 ± 0,66g LW were distributed to a completely randomized blocks design, with four treatments and three replicates. Diets with 29.0% CP and 2980 kcal/kg DE and four available phosphorus levels (0.25; 0.35; 0.45 e 0.55%) were used. The dicalcium phosphate was used as phosphorus source. The diets were fed to the fishes three times a day […]

Two experiments were carried out to determine the nutritional requirement of calcium for broilers in growing (22 to 42 days), and finishing (43 to 53 days) phases. Three hundred and sixty Avian Farm broiler chicks (180 from each sex) were used in both trails. The first experiment lasted 21 days and the second one, 10 days. A completely randomized design was used in both experiments, with six treatments, six replications and 10 birds per experimental unity (five males and five […]
