calcium phosphorous balance

[PattyO]

I asked this question a while back and only got one response. Does anyone feed defluorinated rock

phosphate or phosphorous 16 to achieve the correct calcium phosphorous balance and if so where did you get it?

Hi PattyO,

I don't, sorry. But bone is generally a good source of phosphorus if you can't get what you're looking for. It's fairly easy to buy meat-and-bone meal, determine the calcium-phosphorus percentages in the meal, and adjust calcium additions accordingly.

Sorry I can't answer your question exactly, but good luck with whatever you're doing.

I don't as it is generally not necessary.

If you feed a good quality poultry feed it will have a balanced calcium phosphorus ratio.

Commercial feeds are balanced. Most cereal grains are high in phosphorus so you're probably not low in it.
