Feedstuff Comparisons Offer Interesting Results
Replacing the starch in corn grain with equal amounts of other nonfiber carbohydrates (NFC) or digestible neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in byproduct feedstuffs does not change energy availability, despite differences in rumen degradation rates among carbohydrate...

Updating Phosphorus Supplementation in Ruminants to Meet the Animal’s Requirement, Reduce Excess Cost, and Reduce Environmental Concerns
By Francis L. Fluharty, Ph.D., Department of Animal Sciences, Ohio State University. Phosphorus has been called the "master mineral" because it is involved in most metabolic pathways, is a key component of Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) which transports...
