摘      要：Objective:To investigate the calcium and phosphorus contents of four domestic animals used as sources of meat in ***:The calcium contents of the body parts of the animals were determined using atomic absorption *** phosphorus contents were determined colorimetrically using the molybdenum blue ***:The calcium and phosphorus contents were significantly higher in the bone samples than in the other animal parts investigated (P0.05).The calcium contents of all the edible parts were higher in chicken than in the other *** calcium and phosphorus contents were detected in the faeces of chicken and goat, and that of cattle and goat,*** calcium and phosphorus contents were detected in the urine ***:phosphorus ratios calculated for the bones of chicken,cattle and goat were ***:In conclusion,calcium and phosphorus contents of the animal parts vary significantly and their relative contents may be related to the animal’s *** parts may be the preferred dietary source of these *** study highlights the need for routine investigation of the mineral contents of food,which is necessary for proper nutritional guidelines.
