Bioavailability of alfalfa calcium

Harbers, L.H.; Ward, G.M.; Dayton, A.D.
The availability of oxalate and non-oxalate calcium in alfalfa was determined

using a chick assay. Oxalate-bound calcium was found to contribute only 16% as

much influence as nonoxalate calcium. The nonoxalate calcium in alfalfa was 18%

more available than calcium carbonate (precipitated chalk).
