Abstract
SUMMARY: Mineral analyses for calcium and phosphorus were carried out on lambs which had been fed diets contrasting in protein or energy or calcium concentration and had been slaughtered at defined live weights. Despite considerable variation in rates of growth arising from the widely different nutritional programmes, the mineral content of these lambs at a given weight remained remarkably stable on practical diets.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
