CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS, SODIUM AND POTASSIUM LEVELS IN SWINES IN THE GOIÁS STATE
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.
