Very good and complete article on mineral nutrition.
Specially the section related to Ca and P and the use of high levels of exogenous phytases.
Also ; is very interesting , the way you consider as a starting point when you talk about the
consistency of data of Dig Ca (calcium carbonate ).
Again very good presentation.

Very nice article, well done. Is it just me, but I don't see any Tables to view that are mentioned in the article, if there are some could someone direct myself on how to view them. I have special interest in the calcium and Phos ones. I have personally seen good results when using a Digestible Calcium: d. Phos model, with higher Phos levels in starter and reduced calcium and Phos levels after day 10, then what is proposed by the breeder companies.
