QUESTION

Calcium and Phosphorus ratio of 12:1 is followed in?

OPTIONS

(A) Layer chicks
(B) Broiler grower
(C) Layers
(D) Broilers

ANSWER

(C) Layers

EXPLANATION

A calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of approximately 12:1 is associated with layer diets because laying birds have a very high calcium requirement for eggshell formation. Broilers and broiler growers require much lower calcium concentrations and do not use this unusually wide ratio.
