Showing papers on "Mineral absorption published in 1976"

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of 5% dried whey product in the concentrate on digestibility of the ration and on absorption and retention of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus were investigated. But the results showed that adding small amounts of dry whey to a ruminant's ration will not increase mineral absorption or retention, probably because the lactose in the whey is fermented in the rumen and unavailable for aiding absorption from small intestine.
