Availability to White Rats of Phosphorus in Soybean and Red Clover Hays

Department of Home Economics, Agricultural Experiment Station, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in cooperation with The Tennessee Valley Authority

1. When the experimental diets contain phosphorus at a minimal level of adequacy and all other nutrients at optimal levels and essentially the same for all diets, the phosphorus of a low phosphorus soybean or red clover hay is less available to the rat for growth and bone development than the phosphorus of a high phosphorus hay of the same type.

2. Evidence has been presented indicating that for the rat, with the total phosphorus of the diet at a minimal level, an increase in Ca/P ratio is accompanied by a decrease in food consumption and in the amount of phosphorus stored in the animal's body.
