[Minimal requirement of phosphorus for maintenance in lambs].
The purpose of the present study was to determine the minimum level of endogenous fecal loss of P in sheep receiving a P-deficient and Ca-rich diet composed of natural feedstuffs. The low fecal endogenous loss of P (15 mg/kg/d) was obtained under abnormal physiological conditions and did not correspond to the minimum requirement for maintenance.
