Replacement of dicalcium phosphate by rock phosphate in cattle diets: nutrients digestibility, plasma parameters, ruminal fermentation and microbial synthesis efficiency Substituição de fosfato bicálcico pelo fosfato de rocha em dieta para bovinos: digestibilidade dos nutrientes, parâmetros plasmáticos, fermentação ruminal e eficiência de síntese microbiana

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of replacing dicalcium phosphate by rock phosphate in diets of growing steers. It was determined the following aspects: apparent digestibility of diets; phosphorus (P), calcium and fluorine apparent absorption; ruminal pH; ruminal ammonia con...
