Summary

Sheep fitted with a ruminal and a duodenal cannula were used to study the effect of dry matter intake and the physical form of the diet on salivary P secretion and faecal endogenous P loss. At constant low P intake, changing the form of the diet had no effect on either parameter and while increasing dry matter intake did produce small changes in the partitioning of P excretion between urine and faeces it had no effect on overall endogenous P loss (faecal endogenous P + urine P) which was largely determined by P intake.
