Calcium and phosphorus are also important in skeletal development, strength, and maintenance. Ca and P are largely located in the bones and two of the most abundant minerals in the body.
INTRODUCTION
Through genetic improvement, a broiler’s growth rate and target body weight has accelerated over the years, which requires a regular review of nutritional formulations.
Moreover, research is providing more information regarding the complex interactions of feed components at the macro and molecular level in the gastrointestinal tract.
When formulating feed, considering the synergistic and antagonistic interactions of ingredients can optimize formulations to promote performance and support animal health and welfare.
Five of the minerals:
Phosphorus
Sodium
Chloride and
Potassium
That are supplemented in broiler diets are important regulators of homeostasis and involved in cell signaling.

Ca and P are largely located in the bones and two of the most abundant minerals in the body. Consequences of imbalanced ratios or deficiencies of Ca or P in broiler diets include
