The dietary-fecal relationship of calcium and phosphorus levels in White Leghorn hens.
Fecal samples were collected from individually caged White Leghorn hens in two experiments to determine the relationship of dietary and fecal levels of calcium and phosphorus. Data indicated that fecal levels of both calcium and phosphorus increased with increased dietary levels and could be directly altered as their dietary counterparts were varied.
