  • Title: Ammonium polyphosphate as a source of phosphorus and nonprotein nitrogen for monogastrics.
    Author: Clawson AJ, Armstrong WD.
    Journal: J Anim Sci; 1981 Jan; 52(1):1-7. PubMed ID: 7240028.
    Abstract:
    Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was substituted for 0, 50 and 100% of the P supplied by defluorinated rock phosphate (DRP) in corn-soybean meal diets for growing rats and growing-finishing (G-F) pigs. The diets were formulated to contain 10% protein, .75% Ca and .60% P. Two-thirds of the P in the control diet was supplied by DRP. Replacement of 50 or 100% of the DRP with APP increased the dietary N by 7.25 and 14.5%, respectively. To evaluate nonprotein N (NPN) utilization, we used ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) to provide a level of N equivalent to that supplied by APP when it replaced 100% of the P supplied by DRP. These four treatments were repeated with supplementation of limiting amino acids (L-lysine, L-tryptophan and DL-methionine. Daily feed intake, rate of gain and feed:gain (F:G) of rats and G-F pigs were not influenced (P greater than .05) by the substitution of APP for DRP as a P source in corn-soybean meal diets with or without supplemental amino acids. F:G was improved (P less than .05) by the addition of limiting amino acids to diets for pigs, and a similar trend occurred in rats. The addition of NH4Cl to the 10% protein diets as a source of NPN resulted in no observable benefit for growing rats or G-F pigs. Percentages of ham and loin, percentages of bone ash and P content of the bone ash in pigs were not influenced by the dietary treatments.
