BENEFITS OF PHOSPHORUS

Needed for proper utilization of energy.
Component of many enzyme systems.
Needed for absorption & utilization of carbohydrates.
Needed for proper metabolism & health of rumen microorganisms.
Important in efficiency of feed utilization.
To obtain maximum benefits of vitamins, proteins, and minerals.
Increases appetite and increase ME for NE purposes.
Combines with fats so it aids in the movement, deposition, & utilization of fats.
Important in building muscle tissue.
Young & growing animals have a higher P requirement than mature animals.
Lactating animals have higher P requirements.
At 15,000# milk a cow needs 18.48 lb Ca and 15.4 lb P.
Important for lactation, future lactations, health, calf health, longevity of the cow.
A shortage causes lameness, stiff joints, pica, buffalo back, lowered appetite, decreased growth rate, & knock-knees (sheep), and retained placenta.
Digestibility of feeds is not affected, just more feedstuff is available for use (appetite & enzymes).
Digestibility declines from very high in a milk fed calf to 55% in the mature animal.
Phos is a critical mineral in reproduction.
Critical mineral during gestation.
Sexual maturity is hastened & breeding regularity is seen with phosphorus.
Research says fertility & weaning weights are increased.
Dairy: High phos diet had less ovarian dysfunction & fewer services per conception.

Hi- Plains stands ready to supply information of a technical and practical nature to our customers. Over the years, we have learned that expert knowledge and grass- roots know-how are the ingredients of public service. We are pleased that so many of our friends have called on us over the years for advice and consultation.

MORE FACTS ABOUT PHOSPHORUS

P is lost mainly in the feces.
P concentration in rumen is 3X greater than can be accounted for in diet ingesta (microorganism).
Phytic P (major P in grains & oil meals) has low availability for monogastrics. Is effective for ruminants.
Dietary P levels are critical when Fe & Al intake is high
Direct antagonism between Ca & P and Ca & Mg. little interaction between P & Mg.
Depressed P absorption with high levels of Zn, Cu & Co.
Under high N intake
-Mg availability is lower
-Ca retention is greater
-P availability & retention is not affected.
Ca, P, and Vit D

1:1 to 2:1 ratio (and adequate P) to combat milk fever.

Adequate Ca & P nutrition depends on:
-Sufficient supply of both minerals.
-Suitable ratio between them.
-Presence of Vitamin D for more efficient utilization of Ca & P.
-With plenty of Vitamin D the ratio becomes less important.

P deficiency inhibits production of hormones which produce heat periods.

Moderate deficiency - silent or irregular estrus.

Marginal deficiency - infertility (open cows).

Low P level - anestrus (no cycling).

Research done by Taylor

89% of cows on high P (150% NRC) conceived on 1st service. The other 11% conceived on the 2nd service.

59% of cows on P (100% NRC) conceived on 1st service, 35% of cows conceived on 2nd service, and 6% of cows were open.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS
PASTURE MINERAL is formulated to supplement high roughage rations and diets. Pasture mineral is excellent for improving the calcium to phosphorus ratio in such feeds because of the supplements high-phosphorus, low-calcium composition.

BEEF CATTLE: Feed at a rate of 1-2 oz. daily.
DAIRY CATTLE: Feed at a rate of 1-2 oz. during the dry period.
**CAUTION** Do not feed to sheep due to the copper levels in this product.
**CAUTION** For lactating dairy cows, do not feed more than 10 mg of Iodine per head per day to meet daily requirements of Iodine.
