Extract

Experiments were carried out in dry, nonpregnant cows by varying dietary concentrations of calcium and phosphorus. Calcium and phosphorus absorption were measured by balance and isotope techniques. It was found that absorption of calcium or phosphorus increased when the dietary intake of the element increased, but only for a few days.
