True manganese absorption in chicks as affected by dietary excesses of calcium and phosphorus
- Univ. of Illinois, Urbana (United States)
Two balance studies with growing chicks were conducted to evaluate the effects of excess calcium (Ca) or excess phosphorus (P) on endogenous fecal manganese (Mn) excretion and true Mn absorption determined using an isotope-dilution technique. Supplements were added to a corn-soybean meal diet containing 1% Ca, 0.7% P and 37 mg/kg Mn. In Exp. 1, supplemental Ca levels of 0, 0.5 and 1.0% from feedgrade limestone were compared. True absorption of Mn was not affected by Ca level and averaged 2.8% for birds fed the Mn-unsupplemented diet. In Exp. 2, a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement of treatments included: 100 and 1,000 mg/kg supplemental Mn and 0, 0.4 and 0.8% added P supplied by dicalcium phosphate. Excess P decreased true absorption of Mn. In birds fed 100 mg/kg supplemental Mn, absorption of Mn decreased 22% as excess P increased from 0 to 0.8%, whereas in birds fed 1,000 mg/kg supplemental Mn, Mn absorption decreased 58% as a result of 0.8% P supplementation. These results confirm that excess Ca has little effect while excess P has a marked effect on gut absorption of Mn.
