Abstract

148 swines (73 males and 75 females) were selected at random with 8 - 15 months of age. These swines were from municipalities of Aurilândia, Morrinhos, Caçú, Bom Jesus de Goiás, Itaberaí, Pontalina, Itauçú, Inhumas and Anicuns. The average blood serum phosphorus levels were 7.4 ± 1.4 mg%, calcium 9.0 ± 2.0 mg%, potassium 5.98 ± 1.3 mEq/1 and sodium 152.0 ± 17.3 mEq/1. The blood serum calcium of females (9.7 ± 1.3 mg%) was higher than the male ones (8.4 ± 2.2 mg%) (P < 0.05).
