Modelling phosphorus intake, digestion, retention and excretion in growing and finishing pigs: model description

Low phosphorus (P) digestibility combined with intensive pig production can increase P diffuse pollution and environmental load. The aim of this paper was to develop a deterministic, dynamic model able to represent P digestion, retention and ultimately excretion in growing and finishing pigs of diff...
