title: [Effect of various anion and cation concentrations in the diet on the utilization of calcium and phosphorus in swine].
abstract: Experiments on growing swine revealed that diets with an excess of anions or cations will cause calcium and phosphorus to be utilized less. This, in turn, results in markedly decreased weight gains of the pigs and poor nutrient utilization. The diet with an excessively high concentration of anions was found to have a more unfavourable effect than diets with excessive cations. It is, therefore, recommended to carefully calculate the acid-base balance when formulating complete feed mexes for fattening pigs. The economic effect of such a practice proved high.
