Abstract:

In a previous test it was found that phosphoric acid can be used as a source of phosphorus for beef heifer calves on dry bluestem pasture. A phosphorus balance study with lambs also indicated efficient use of phosphorus from phosphoric acid. This test was conducted to further evaluate phosphoric acid as a source of phosphorus in the wintering and fattening ration under dry-lot feeding conditions.
