John Brake speaks on potassium and phosphorus in poultry nutrition

Hello my friend what the recommended levels of potassium carbonate and none phytate phosphorus you have found to connect with improving performance with broilers and breeders Youssef Attia

It is interesting that acid base balance and blood ph plays a major role in tissue oxygenation by the Bohr effect. Keep up the good work.

Dear Professor I find your topic on which you have been working very exciting; indeed, now, with the genetic progress we have to deal with acid based balance which we take into consideration in chicken formulation. That’s why I am interested in knowing your nutrients recommendation for broilers regarding Ca, AvP, Na, Cl, K and Na+k – Cl. For starter, growing and finish formulas. Thank you for answering my questions. EL IDRISSI IBRAHIM DVM nutritionnist. Morocco

Dear Professor Youssef Attia, May I add that you please ask for the level of Potassium in the feed but not the Potassium Carbonate. Because we will add up the Potassium from all the used ingredients and the remaining will be supplemented from Potassium Carbonate.

Dear John,

What should be the level of Potassium in Broilers and layer hens? Can we use Potassium Sulfate (which is easily available)?
