Abstract

The experiment was conducted to measure the ileal calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) digestibility, and total tract retention (TTR) of Ca and P in soybean meal (SBM), canola meal (CM), limestone, monocalcium phosphate (MCP), and dicalcium phosphate (DCP)) for growing pullets using the direct method. Five semi-purified diets containing limestone, DCP, and MCP with a dietary Ca concentration of 10 g/kg, SBM and CM with a dietary Ca concentration of 1.9 and 2.5 g/kg, respectively, were generated. Each diet was randomly allotted to six replicates (eight birds per each) and fed for 3 days.
True Ca digestibility coefficients of DCP, MCP, and limestone were determined to be 0.55, 0.57, and 0.76, respectively and in SBM and CM were 0.91 and 0.76, respectively. The highest true ileal digestibility of calcium was related to soybean meal, which was significantly higher than dicalcium phosphate and monocalcium phosphate (P<0.01). Calcium concentration in the gizzard contents of birds was higher (P < 0.01) for limestone as compared to DCP, MCP and SBM. Apparent ileal P digestibility coefficients of MCP and DCP (0.83 and 0.93, respectively), was higher than CM (P<0.01). Whereas, the TTR of phosphorus in monocalcium phosphate (0.905) was significantly higher than the other examined ingredients. The present data indicated that in laying pullets on wk 12, true Ca digestibility in limestone, SBM and CM was higher than DCP and MCP, wherease, digestibility coefficinets of P in DCP and MCP was similar and higher than other studied sources,.
