Abstract

A feeding trial and two phosphorus balance studies were conducted to compare the availabilities of phosphorus from high-moisture sorghum grain treated with propionic acid (1.2% acid, 23% moisture), grain stored in an oxygen limiting structure (27% moisture), and field-dried sorghum grain (13% moisture). Bone and phosphorus retention data indicated that the phosphorus in high-moisture sorghum grain is more available than phosphorus in field-dried sorghum grain.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 8, 1979
