Phosphorus has a crucial role in growth performance of calves fed starters with incorporated forage by Masoumeh Eghtedari, Amin Khezri, Mehdi Kazemi-Bonchenari, Mohammadreza Mohammadabadi, Saeed Esmaeili Mahani, Jörg R. Aschenbach

“…It is concluded that FA to starter diets has a high potential to improve growth performance in young dairy calves. However, currently, recommended dietary P levels of approximately 0.45% may be insufficient to support fiber digestibility, microbial protein synthesis and growth, especially pre-weaning, when forage-containing starters are high in phytate-P.…”
