Six semi-purified diets were formulated with supplemented phosphorus levels of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5% at a fixed calcium level of 1.25% and the effect of dietary phosphorus on growth, FCR, body phosphorus and its excretion in shrimp Penaeus monodon was studied. The results of a 45 day feeding trial, in triplicate, on the juveniles of P. monodon (initial average live –weight 2.54 ±0.28g) had shown that phosphorus is indispensable in the diet and the best performance (147.3 and 154.5% increase in live-weight and 1.44 and 1.57 FCR) was recorded by the diet supplemented with 1.0 and 1.5% phosphorus which was significantly (P<0.05) higher than the performance of the other diets tested. Higher phosphorus supplementation suppressed growth and increased FCR. The shrimp maintained body phosphorus and calcium levels in a ratio of 1:3 irrespective of dietary levels of phosphorus. There was no significant change in the proximate composition of post feeding trial shrimp. Phosphorus excretion in faeces of P. monodon increased proportionately with dietary phosphorus while the excretion level far exceeded the body phosphorus level in the shrimp fed with diets having supplemented phosphorus level above 1.5%. Even the shrimp fed with 0% phosphorus diet had 0.10% phosphorus in their faeces. The phosphorus levels in shrimp feeds vis-a-vis its excretion into aquaculture environment have been discussed.

1. A feeding trial is described including four groups of cattle fed on grades I, II and III silages and on swedes, straw and oats respectively.2. The live-weight gains made are recorded, together with the rate of dry-matter intake.3. The efficiency of the dry matter of the diets was calculated.4. All three grades of silage produced a significantly greater rate of fattening than swedes plus straw and oats. There was no significant difference between the fattening values of the three grades of silage.5. The dressing percentages found for 100 silagefed and 71 swede-fed cattle are given. The swedefed cattle yielded a greater average dressing percentage.6. It is suggested that the higher dressing percentage found for root-fed cattle as compared with silage-fed cattle can be attributed to the more rapid elimination of dietary water from the body in rootfed cattle.7. An animal behaviour study is described, the time spent by cattle on the four diets, eating, cudding and lying down, being determined.8. Cattle fed on grass silage spent longer on feeding plus cudding than swede-fed cattle.9. An experiment is described designed to determine the effect of the dry-matter percentage of the diet on the dry-matter intake of ruminants.10. The results indicate that when ruminants are subsisting on a diet consisting solely of succulents, the dry-matter intake is depressed when the dry-matter percentage of the diet falls.

Male crossbred broiler-type chickens were fed graded levels of dietary phosphorus from hatching to 4 weeks of age. Plasma inorganic phosphorus and plasma inorganic calcium were determined on aliquots of blood plasma samples taken when the chickens were 4 weeks of age. The level of plasma inorganic phosphorus decreased when the chickens were fed low levels of dietary phosphorus. The level of plasma inorganic calcium was inversely related to the plasma inorganic phosphorus level. Regression equations were different for each of the four dietary phosphorus levels fed. The sum of plasma inorganic phosphorus and plasma inorganic calcium was very similar for the four treatments.

Abstract Background Recent observational studies have suggested that circulating phosphorus levels are positively associated with risk of prostate cancer. However, little is known about the causal direction of the association. Objective To explore the potential causal relationship between circulating phosphorus and risk of prostate cancer, we conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Design Summary statistics of prostate cancer were obtained from a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) consisting of 79,148 cases and 61,106 controls. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) associated with serum phosphorus level were selected from a GWAS of 291,408 individuals from the UK Biobank. MR analysis was performed using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method, supplemented with simple-median, weighted-median, maximum likelihood-based, MR-Egger regression and MR-PRESSO test. We also performed a meta-analysis of observational studies to assess the associations of dietary phosphorus intake and serum phosphorus level with risk of prostate cancer. Results In the MR analysis, a total of 125 independent SNPs associated with serum phosphorus levels were used as instrumental variables. Genetically predicted serum phosphorus levels were associated with a 19% increased risk of prostate cancer (95% confidence interval (CI): 9%, 31%) per one SD increment of serum phosphorus by IVW (P = 1.82 × 10–4). Sensitivity analyses using alternative MR methods produced similar positive associations, and no evidence of pleiotropy was detected by MR-Egger regression (P = 0.422). For meta-analysis, eight studies for dietary phosphorus intake and four for serum phosphorus levels were included involving a total of 669,080 participants. Consistently, high dietary phosphorus intake and serum phosphorus levels were associated with an 8% (95% CI: 4%, 12%) and 7% (95% CI: 1%, 14%) increase in prostate cancer risk, respectively. Conclusions Our study suggested a potential causal relationship between circulating phosphorus and risk of prostate cancer. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanism of phosphorus in the development of prostate cancer.

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous bacterial infection caused by an acid-fast bacillus, mycobacterium tuberculosis or tubercle bacillus.  It is a potentially fatal contagious disease that can affect almost any part of the body but is mainly an infection of the lungs so it is called pulmonary tuberculosis. There are many minerals synthesized in the body in an appropriate amount for specific work. If any disease occurs in the body then mineral level imbalance, like wise in pulmonary tuberculosis calcium and phosphorus levels disturb. The changes in Calcium and Phosphorus level is considered as an important factor in pathophysiology of pulmonary tuberculosis patient.Methods: The proposed study was conducted in Department of Biochemistry with association of Department of TB and Chest of S.P. Medical College and attached Hospital, Bikaner. There were 40 cases and 40 controls in the age groups from 15 to 50 years. We took fresh samples and performed required tests following standard protocol. By Analytical grade chemicals and standard serum Calcium and Phosphorus were estimated using enzymatic kit method by auto analyzer.Results: The Mean±SD of serum calcium and serum phosphorus levels were found 8.688±0.7155 and 2.833±0.6443   before chemotherapy and 9.163±0.4661 and 3.695±0.3471 after chemotherapy.Conclusions: Persons, who developed pulmonary tuberculosis disease, had increased serum calcium and serum phosphorus level after chemotherapy compared to before chemotherapy patients.

Abstract Background and Aims There were paucity of clinical evidence on target serum phosphorus levelsin early CKD. Present longitudinal study finds target phosphorus level and its association with FGF 23 in three different hyperphosphatemia managements groups. Method This one year, prospective, randomised controlled, open labelled study was conducted among three equally allocated treatment groups in 120 screened early CKD patients.Group1 Dietary phosphorus modificationn40; Group2 calcium-based phosphate bindersn40 and Group3 non calcium-based phosphate bindersn40.Three monthly dietary assessment, MDRD e-GFR, phosphorus, calcium, iPTH, Alkaline phosphatise and six monthly FGF23, 2D Echocardiography, X ray of chest and abdomen were performed. Association of three categories of phosphorus level up to 3.9 mg/dl, 4 to 5mg/dl and &gt;5mg/dl, rate of progression of all parameters and correlation with FGF 23among all three groups were studied. Results At baseline, all clinical and biochemical parameters were equally distributed with a controlled nutritional phosphate among all groups. There was no significant difference of FGF23 in all the three categories of phosphorus level among all groups. Association of serum phosphorus at the level of 5 mg/dl was there with iPTH and e-GFR at one year. Over one year there were significant decline in serum phosphorus levels in Group1 p 0.02, Group2 p 0.00,Group3p 0.05;FGF23 was declined significantly only in group3p 0.00.Correlation of FGF23 was positive and negative with iPTH r 0.19,p 0.03 and e-GFR r-0.30, p 0.00respectively but not with phosphorus p0.13 Conclusion Serum phosphorus levels up to 5mg/dl has no effect on FGF 23 at early CKD stages. Although different treatment groups have significant phosphorus reduction, non-calcium phosphate binder has major impact on FGF23 reduction.

Studies were conducted to evolution the feeding value of rice straw (RS) supplemented with varying levels of pigeon pea forage (PPF)as dry season feed for yearling Yankasa ewes. Twent yearling ewes with an average live weight of 15.02kg were randomly assigned to four treatments. Five ewes ner treatment comprising a basal RS diet fed ad libiitium (0.0% PPF), and ad libitium RS supplemented the feed ingredients showed tha RS had 10.81% CP, 5/11% liginin and 4.2% silica while ppf had 15.75% CP, 3.63% ligmim and 0.5mh/kg tannin. in terms of mineral contents analyzed. PPF was higher thanRS only in calcium. The results of the feeding trial showed increase feed intake with increase in level of PPF supplementation. Ewes on the unsupplemented and 0.5% body weight supplementation lost weight (-2.01kg and -1.6kg respectively) while those on 1.0 and 1.5% supplementation had minimal(1.25kg and 1.06kg respectively) weight gain. The digestibility and nitrogen balance showed significant difference (p<0.05) in the digestion of DM, NDF and ADF across the treatments. Supplementing RS diet wit o.1% of the body weight PPF resulted in better digestibility of all nutrients. Nitrogen retention across all treatments were high and ranged between 86.18 to 90.06 percent

Summary. The disbalanced feeding and the uneven distribution of micro- and macroelements in the environment leads to a trace element, in particular hypomelanosis. To accelerate the growth and preservation of young farm animals include in the diet of various biological additives and drugs, which include selenium. For stimulation of weight gain in the livestock industry, as well as for the prevention and treatment of pathological processes in addition to micro - and macrouse amino acids, primarily methionine. The aim of this work was to study the influence of composition of DAFS-25+Polizon on morpho-biochemical parameters of blood and functional state of the liver in fattening bulls of black-motley breed in the conditions of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Experiments using were conducted on bull-calves of black-motley breed of the properties in the properties age from 6 to 15 months. The first experimental group during the experiment was additionally given the composition of DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg, the animals of the control group received a standard diet. To assess the impact of the composition DAFS-25+Polizon on metabolism cattle studied morphological and biochemical indicators of blood and conducted histological examination of the liver. It is established that the use of the composition of DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg increases the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the experimental group and reduces the amount of white blood cells. The serum content of total protein, phosphorus and calcium increases in the group of experimental animals. Microscopic examination of the liver revealed no changes in the structure of the organ and hepatocytes in the experimental group, whereas in the control group hemodynamic disorders and dystrophic changes in liver cells were observed. Thus, the use of the composition DAFS-25+Polizon at a dose of 2 mg/kg of live weight in fattening bulls black-and-white breed contributes to the increase of redox processes in the body, stimulation of metabolism, prevent the development of liver disorders of cellular mechanisms of metabolism, optimizes the structure of the liver, which generally provides higher productivity.

Mineral Feed Additives

Animals imported to Yakutia from other regions fall into feeding and housing conditions that differ from their usual agro-climatic conditions, which causes the problem of their adaptation. Yakutia is one of the areas where the feed of its own production has a lack of basic minerals, which affects the health and productivity of animals, which has an additional negative influence on the adaptation process of imported cattle. In order to replenish macro- and microelements in the body, it is necessary to introduce various local mineral feed additives, premixes, and use mineral salts into the ration. Under the conditions of Central Yakutia the influence of local mineral feed additives (zeolite of the Khonguruu Deposit in the Suntar district and sapropels of local lakes) containing macro- and microelements that increase the meat productivity of steers has been studied. As a result of the research the influence of local mineral feed additives on meat productivity and physiological condition of Hereford steers has been established. Influence of zeolite and sapropel in a complex with mineral salts on digestibility of nutrients of the ration and use of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus by experimental animals has been defined. The influence of feed additives on the quality of meat products has been studied. The results have shown that the use of local mineral feed additives in the composition of ration of steers during the fattening period at a dose of 0,7 g zeolite per 1 kg of live weight of the animal and 200 g of sapropel in combination with 10 g of mineral salts contributed to the gain in live weight, carcass weight, carcass yield, yield of edible parts, and economic efficiency of fattening. For the entire period of the experiment the gain in live weight in groups was: in control group 2222,9 kg, in the 1st experimental group 2396,2 kg, in the 2nd experimental group 2471,1 kg. The total economic effect for the 1st experimental group for the period of experiment amounted to 44,3 thousand Rubles, for the 2nd experimental group 78,0 thousand Rubles or per 1 head/day 14,06 and 24,76 Rubles, respectively.
