Abstract

Apparent availability coefficient of the ash, calcium and phosphorus were studied in the Arrau sideneck (Podocnemis expansa). The sources of mineral material were meat and bone meal, poultry by-product meal, fish meal and dicalcium phosphate. The turtles used were 226 hatchlings with 5 months old and average weight of 38.32 g and 6.06 cm long shell from Projeto Quelônios da Amazônia, State of Mato Grosso. Experimental animals were raised in plastic containers, with continuous water flow and mean temperature kept at 29oC. Apparent availability coefficient was accessed by diets labeled with 0.1% of chromium oxide III (Cr2O3). The apparent availability coefficient of ash, calcium and phosphorus were, respectively, 69.32, 69.46 and 73.28% for meat and bone meal, 87.53, 92.48 and 92.19% for poultry by-product meal, 92.53, 95.83 and 94.93% for fish meal and 41.18, 81.01 and 54.46% for dicalcium phosphate.
