Abstract: 25 non-pregnant Yunnan semi-fine wool sheep were allocated to 5 groups corresponding to 5 dietary treatments with P levels at 0.19%,0.32%,0.45%,0.56% and 0.64%,for investigating the effect of dietary P level on nutrient digestibility.19 d digestion trial were conducted,with 14 d preliminary period and 5 d formal period.During the official period,200 g of concentrate and 200 g of crude material were collected in each group every day.Each feces sample was weighed,20% was taken and divided into two parts,one part was added 10% HCL to fix nitrogen.The percentage of 10% HCL in the mixture was 5% (W/W).Each day,the feed and feces were dried at 55℃,followed by rehydration for 24 hours.Then the dry samples were smashed and filtrated through 40 meshes,and the corresponding indicators were determined.The results showed that dietary P levels significantly affected nutrient digestibility,with the exclusion of Ca digestibility.Digestibility of DM and CP decreased with the elevated dietary P levels,and that in 0.19% and 0.32% P level groups was higher than that in 0.64% P group (P<0.01).Digestibility of gross energy,crude fat,ash,NDF and ADF increased with the increasing of P levels,then decreased till dietary P reached 0.45%,after that it increased again with the inflexion of 0.45% P level.Digestibility of P decreased with the elevated dietary P levels,and that in 0.19% P group was higher than that in 0.45%,0.56% and 0.64% P level (P<0.01).There was no differences on P digestibility among other groups (P>0.05).Regression analysis revealed that the linear relationship between dietary P levels and digestibility of DM,CP and P were significant (R2 were 0.7823,0.8386 and 0.9976,respectively).In conclusion,dietary P levels did not affect Ca digestibility.Digestibility of DM,CP and P decreased with the elevated dietary P levels.The highest digestibility of nutrients always happened in 0.32% group.
