The authors wish to make the following corrections to their paper [1]:

In Table 3, the rows showing “Intake P”, “Excretion P” and “Digestibility P” have typing errors and are now corrected (see the corrected version of Table 3 below).

Table 3.

Daily intake (g), fecal excretion (g), digestibility (%) and retention (g) of phosphorus (P).
