An experiment was conducted to study the requirement of calcium (Ca) and non-phytin phosphorus (NPP) in commercial broilers during starter phase. Seven hundred and twenty day-old Vencob male broiler chicks were randomly distributed into 144 stainless steel battery brooders, 5 birds in each. Four levels each of Ca (6, 7, 8, and 9 g/kg) and NPP (3, 3.5, 4, and 4.5 g/kg diet) were fed in a factorial design in a corn-soya basal diet. Levels of dicalcium phosphate and oyster shell grit were adjusted to obtain the desired levels of Ca and NPP. Each diet was fed ad libidum to chicks in 9 battery brooders from one d to 21 d of age. Body weight gain and feed intake were depressed (p<0.01) by increasing the dietary Ca level (8 and 9 g/kg) at lower levels of NPP (3 and 3.5 g/kg diet). The growth depression observed at lower NPP level was alleviated by reducing the Ca content to 6 g/kg diet. The tibia ash content and tibia breaking strength increased with increase in both Ca (>6 g/kg) and NPP (>3 g/kg) levels. The leg abnormality score decreased (p<0.01) with increase in NPP content in the diet at all levels of Ca tested. The serum Ca and inorganic P levels were increased with increase in the level of the respective mineral in the diet, but the serum concentration of Ca and P were inversely related to the level of NPP and Ca, respectively /kg diet. In general, the excretion of macro minerals (Ca, and P), and micro minerals {zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu)} was significantly lower at lower levels of Ca and NPP tested (6 and 3 g/kg diet, respectively). The mineral excretion increased with increase in dietary Ca and NPP levels, more conspicuously at the disproportionate ratio of these minerals (>2:1, Ca and NPP). Similarly, the retention of Zn, Mn, and Fe in liver was significantly higher (p<0.01) at lower levels of Ca and NPP tested. Results from this study indicate that the commercial broilers do not require more than 3 g NPP and 6g Ca/kg diet during starter phase (up to 21 d of age) for optimum weight gain, feed efficiency and utilization of Ca, P, Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu. However, the requirements of these minerals for optimum bone mineralization were higher than the levels suggested above.

Extrusion을 달리한 밀기울과 무기태린의 첨가수준의 주요 영양소의 소화율에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 증체양, 사료섭취량, 사료효율, 영양소별 소화율, 그리고 tibia의 성분량 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. 1) 증체양은 무기태린의 첨가수준이 0.225％, 0.45％일 경우 Extrusion처리구보다 Non－Extrusion처리구에서 높은 경향을 보였으나, 처리간에 유의성은 찾아 볼 수 없었다. 한편 Extrusion처리에 관계없이 무기태린의 첨가로 증체량이 개선되었으며 인을 첨가한 두처리구(0.225％와 0.45％) 사이에서는 유의성을 인정할 수 없었다. 2) 사요섭취양은 무기태린의 첨가구와 무기태린에서 Non－Extrusion처리구보다 Extrusion처리구에서 높은 경향을 찾아볼 수 있었다. 3) 사료효율은 무기태린을 첨가함으로써 개선되었으나, 인을 첨가한 두 처리구(0.225％와 0.45％) 사이에서는 유의성을 인정할 수 없었다. 4) 건물 소화율은 무기태린의 첨가수준이 높을수록 개선되었으나, Extrusion핵과는 인정할 수 없었다. 5) 인을 첨가한 두 처리구(0.225％와 0.45％) 사이에서 단백질 소화율은 Non－Extrusion 보다 Extrusion처리구가 높았으나, 증체에 직접적인 영향은 없었다. 6) Tibia의 Ca과 P의 함양은 무기태린의 첨가수준에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, 이러한 증가양상에서 P의 첨가수준과의 직접적인 관계는 찾아볼 수는 없었다.
