title: I. A bibliographic database for quantitative analysis of phosphorus flow in ruminants.
abstract: The present study describes a quantitative analysis of phosphorus metabolism in ruminants. The database compiles 100 sources either published (95) or unpublished (5) involving studies on true or apparent phosphorus balances carried out before 1999. The database reports 652 distinct experimental conditions (lines) described with experimental variables (column) involving a total of 2982 animals: 414 lambs (33 references), 1078 sheep (37 references), 64 pregnant ewes (3 references), 212 lactating ewes (5 references), 528 calves (20 references), 4 maintenance cows (1 reference), 519 lactating cows (6 references), 42 kids (1 reference) and 121 lactating goats (3 references). The reliability of the database was tested using some general relationships.
