Description:
Calcium is an important constituent of skeleton and teeth, and is essential for the activity of a number of enzyme systems including those necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses and for the contractile properties of muscle. It is also involved in the coagulation of blood. In young growing and in adult animals, calcium deficiency may lead to rickets and osteomalacia, respectively. These symptoms may also result from a deficiency in phosphorus, which is closely associated with calcium in bone. In addition, phosphorus occurs in phosphoproteins, nucleic acids and phospholipids, and plays a vital role in energy metabolism through the formation of sugarphophates and adenosine di- and triphosphates. Chronic phosphorus deficiency may lead to stiff joints and muscular weakness, subnormal growth in young animals and low liveweight gains in mature animals. Low dietary intakes of phosphorus have also been associated with poor fertility, an apparent dysfunction of the ovaries and depression or irregularity of oestrus. In hens, calcium phosphate deficiency may lead to reduced egg yield, hatchability and shell thickness.
