Effects of Dietary Calcium and Phosphorus Levels on Growth Performance, Calcium–Phosphorus Homeostasis, and Gut Microbiota in Ningxiang Pigs

Effects of Dietary Calcium and Phosphorus Levels on Growth Performance, Calcium–Phosphorus Homeostasis, and Gut Microbiota in Ningxiang Pigs

Optimal dietary calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) requirements remain undetermined for Ningxiang pigs, a valuable indigenous Chinese breed. This study conducted a continuous feeding trial with two growth phases (grower: 30–50 kg; finisher: 50–80 kg) using fixed Ca/P ratios to systematically evaluate t...
