Summary
Recently there have been a number of reports of swine feeds containing over 1% calcium. Previous research had indicated a high incidence of parakeratosis when diets contained over 1% calcium unless these diets were supplemented with additional zinc. This study was conducted to obtain additional information on the effects of high dietary calcium and different levels of supplemental zinc on performance of growing-finishing swine.
