The effect of reducing dietary calcium in prestarter diets (0-4 D) on growth performance of broiler chickens, tibia characteristics, and calcium and phosphorus concentration in blood.

During the incubation period, the Ca-to-P weight (mg/mg) ratio in the yolk increases from 0.26 on day 0 to 0.92 on day 17.

Palatability in pigs, the pleasure of consumption1.

Despite the importance of hedonic reactions in pig's intake, feed palatability has been typically inferred from preference or acceptance measures. However, these measures are influenced by factors beyond palatability, such as energy density and hunger. The aim of this study was to evaluate palatability responses in pigs to sweet and umami taste at different inclusions levels.
