DIETARY CALCIUM LEVELS REDUCE THE EFFICACY OF ONE ALPHA-HYDROXYCHOLECALCIFEROL IN PHOSPHORUS-DEFICIENT DIETS OF BROILERS

Dietary Calcium Levels Reduce the Efficacy of One Alpha-Hydroxycholecalciferol in Phosphorus-Deficient Diets of Broilers

One alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol (1α-OH D3), an analog of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), improves growth performance and phosphorus retention in broilers.In the present study, we investigate the effects of dietary calcium (Ca) levels on the efficacy of 1α-OH D3 in the phosphorus Heritage Dish (P)-deficient corn-soybean meal diets of 1- t
