Simulated effects of feed standardised total tract digestible (STTD) phosphorus content (g/kg) on: (a) daily protein retention (g/d); (b) daily body phosphorus retention (g/d); (c) daily phosphorus retention in soft tissue (g/d); (d) daily phosphorus retention in bones (g/d) in pigs of three pig phenotypes(34) growing from 25·0 kg live body weight. The three phenotypes were: (i) fast growing, Inline graphic = 50·0 kg, Lm = 55·0 kg, B = 0·0125; (ii) intermediate growing, Inline graphic = 40·0 kg, Lm = 48·0 kg, B = 0·0118; and (iii) commercial, Inline graphic = 30·0 kg, Lm = 39·0 kg, B = 0·0110. Feeds were isoenergetic and contained STTD phosphorus contents ranging from 50 to 180 % of the current National Research Council guidelines(11), which were supplied on an ad libitum basis for 42 d. Growth: Inline graphic, commercial; Inline graphic, intermediate; Inline graphic, fast.
