The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of sheep supplemented with phosphorus (P) using carcass traits and analysis of 12th rib. Twenty male lambs weighing 13.88 ± 2.51 kg and grazing Andropogon gayanus pasture were divided in two treatments of 10 animals each. In group P, animals were supplemented with 3 g phosphorus/animal/day, while in group NP no P supplementation was given. After 82 days the animals were slaughtered and carcass measurements were taken. The 12th rib […]

Fifteen Nellore steers were allotted to three treatments, consisting of a basal diet, which will be able to provide gains of about 600 g/day, supplemented (15 or 11 g P/day) or not (5 g P/day) with monoammonium phosphate in order to evaluate the alterations in bone, plasma and fecal measurements due to P deficiency. Rib biopsies were taken at 60 and 250 days of trial, plasma samples were taken every 15 days, and fecal grab samples were analyzed in seven […]
