| Greater production demands for ruminants require increased dietary inclusion of high-energy feeds. Grains and oil seeds are most commonly used to enhance diet energy density. However, use of such feeds proportionally increases the amount of dietary phytate phosphorus (P), which the ruminant may not be able to fully utilise. Our objectives for this study were to determine the extent of phytate degradation and mineral digestion in wethers fed high-grain diets consisting of either a non-mutant or low-phytate mutant barley grain. In two separate experiments, mature Columbia wethers (n = 7) fitted with rumen and duodenal cannulas and Columbia × Polypay wether lambs (n = 8) were individually fed one of two finishing diets formulated with either non-mutant... |

| Land application of manure can increase P transfer in runoff, although the risk depends in part on the characteristics of the manure. We assessed this for calcareous soils using manures from swine (Sus domesticus) fed one of five barley varieties (Hordeum vulgare L.), including four low phytate mutants and a normal variety, to produce manures with a range of total P (6.8-4.9 g P water-soluble P (4.3-8.0 g P kg-'), total N/P ratios (2.5:1-5.5:1), and total C/P ratios (31:1-67:1). Two experiments were conducted. First, manures were incorporated into three soils on a N (150 mg N kg-' soil) or P (27.5 mg P kg-1 soil) basis three times during a 7-wk incubation. Second, 10 additional soils were incubated for 2 wk following a single P-based manure... |
