too much phosphorus

Question
hello ma'am. may i know what happens if i feed too much of phosphorus to racehorses?

Answer
Hello Rohit,

Feeding excessive amounts of phosphorous in a horse's diet can reduce the rate of calcium absorption and lead to chronic calcium deficiency.  Not only is the concentration of dietary Phosphorous important, you need to ensure that you are feeding the correct Calcium:Phosphorous ratio.  As with your Calcium question, you want to keep your rations balanced.
