The influence of supplementing pig diets with 0, 5 or 10% fat, increasing dietary calcium and available phosphorus levels from 0.8 to 1.2% and from 0.53 to 0.8%, respectively, was investigated with 3-wk-old weaner pigs for a period of 6 wk. Average daily gain (P < 0.05) and feed intake (P < 0.01) were reduced with dietary fat supplementation. However, 10% supplemental fat in the diet caused an improvement (P < 0.05) in feed:gain ratio. Dietary calcium and phosphorus levels had no significant effect on daily weight gain, feed intake or feed:gain ratio. There was no significant effect of dietary fat or calcium and phosphorus treatment on digestibility of calcium, phosphorus or magnesium. There was also no significant difference in the pH of stomach and duodenal contents due to the dietary treatments. The rectal contents of pigs fed supplemental fat was found to be more acidic than those from the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant effect of dietary fat, calcium and phosphorus treatments on bone or serum calcium, phosphorus or magnesium content. It is concluded that weaner pigs will tolerate high levels of fat without any detrimental effect on mineral digestibility and subsequent bone mineralization. Key words: Weaner pigs, fat, calcium, performance, bone and serum minerals

Background: Calving to conception interval is abnormally extended by the occurrence of retained fetal membranes (RFM) by altering the blood biochemical and mineral milieu in cows. Hence this experiment was conducted in RFM affected and normally calved (NC) buffaloes by inducing estrus with CIDR plus PGF2α protocol to study the blood biochemical and mineral profiles and to correlate them with fertility rate. Methods: Buffaloes (n=64) at 45-60 days postpartum including 32 treated for RFM and 32 NC from field were equally divided into groups I and II and groups III and IV, respectively. Buffaloes of groups I and III were initially dewormed and administered 35-50 g mineral mixture daily orally for 15 days in the concentrate feed. Then, buffaloes of all the groups were treated with CIDR plus PGF2α. After CIDR removal, all the buffaloes were artificially inseminated twice at 48 and 72 hrs. Blood was collected during different stages of treatment from all the buffaloes to assess the blood biochemical and mineral status. The animals returned to estrus following FTAI were again inseminated during subsequent estrus. Pregnancy diagnosis was done at 60 days post-AI and conception rates for induced estrus and overall of two cycles were calculated.Result: In all the groups, blood glucose, total protein, triglycerides, cholesterol and phosphorus levels increased from the time of selection to 10 days post-AI. There was an altered calcium phosphorus ratio in RFM affected buffaloes (1:1) at the time of selection. CIDR plus PGF2α protocol influenced the blood biochemical constituents and brought the calcium and phosphorus ratio as 2:1 and improved the fertility in riverine buffaloes. The overall conception rate was 62.50, 37.50, 87.50 and 75.00 per cent, in group I, II, III and IV buffaloes, respectively.

1. Rats were given diets containing different amounts of calcium, phosphorus and lead.2. Pb retention was greatly increased when the diets contained less Ca or P than the minimum estimated requirement of the rat.3. The release of Pb already incorporated into the skeleton was inhibited by diets low in Ca but was not affected by diets low in P.4. The retention of Pb given intraperitoneally was not affected by dietary Ca or P.5. It can be concluded that dietary Ca and P influence the absorption of Pb by the gut and dietary Ca influences the metabolism of Pb in the bone.6. There were changes in the distribution of Pb among the tissues due to changes of dietary Ca.7. At low body concentrations, Pb probably affected skeletal growth.

A higher Ca-P intake during finishing, gestation and lactation periods increased (P < 0.05) the apparent absorption (g/day) of Ca and P during all three periods. Nutrient absorption appeared to differ for Lacombe and Yorkshire gilts. Key words: Calcium, phosphorus, nitrogen, absorption, gilts
