1Phase 1 experimental diets were fed from 5.9 to 8 kg.

2Corn level altered with increasing CaCO3 inclusions.

3A common diet was fed following the experimental period.

4HP 300, Hamlet Protein, Findlay, Ohio.

5Ronozyme HiPhos 2700 (DSM Nutritional Products) provided a 0.13 release of STTD P % for 750 FYT/kg inclusion in the diet.

6ABC-4 was calculated based on published ingredient values (Lawlor et al., 2005).

7Three representative samples were collected from each treatment diet and two representative samples were collected from the phase 2 diet, ground with a food processor, and submitted for analysis to the Kansas State University Soil Testing Laboratory for Ca and P analysis. ABC-4 analysis was performed as described by Lawlor et al. (2005).

8ABC-4 was measured and calculated as the amount of acid in milli-equivalents required to bring 1.0 kg of ground feed to a pH of 4.0.
