Major Professor: Dr. Cledualdo B, Perez, Jr..
A study was conducted at the Department of Animal Science, College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines at Los Banos from April 1 to September 15, 1981 to determine the calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (F) requirements of growing Philippine native goats, •about five months old and 8.4 to 11.6 kg in body weight. Thirty-six goats were assigned in a Randomized Complete Block Design to three rations with different levels of Ca and P as follows: A - 0.18% Ca and 0.17% P; B - 0.24% Ca and 0.21% P and C 0.30% Ca and 0.25% F. Goats on treatment B had significantly (F L 0.05) higher blood calcium, blood phosphorus, bone ash and bone calcium than the other two treatments and had significantly (P / 0.05) higher average daily gain and rib-eye area than treatment A. The average daily dry matter intake, iced efficiency, bone phosphorus and dressing percentages of the three treatments did not vary significantly. The levels of 0.24% in the ration seem to be optimum for growing goats raised in confinement.
