“…There was no significant effect of DCAD levels on serum phosphorus. A slight reduction in serum Mg in buffaloes fed −110 mEq/kg DCAD level might be due to high Ca content of the diet that reduced Mg absorption (Chicco et al, 1973).…”

“…Alfrey and Miller [53] found that in uremic bone the major increase was in the nonexchangeable magnesium fraction. Bone magnesium correlated significantly with serum magnesium (but not muscle magnesium) in pa tients with hypo-and hypermagnesemia [54], (Similar correlations, some curvilinear, have been found for ani mals [55][56][57][58].) These data suggest that nonelutable mag nesium is deposited in bone during bone formation, and mobilization of bone magnesium would therefore de pend on bone resorption [53].…”

“…Similarly, administration of magnesium bullets to cows had no effect on plasma calcium levels (Foot et al, 1969;Smyth, 1969). Supplemental magnesium has been observed to decrease plasma calcium in sheep by some investigators (Chicco et al, 1973) but not by others (Dutton and Fontenot, 1967).…”

SUMMARYA metabolism trial was conducted to assess some effects of magnesium alloy rumen bullets and magnesium sulfate on magnesium and calcium utilization in wether lambs fed a basal, semipurified diet (800 g/day) that contained .08% magnesium and .42% calcium. Four sheep were assigned randomly to each of four treatments: basal diet only (BD); basal diet plus two commercial magnesium bullets per animal (AB); basal diet plus two experimental magnesium bullets per animal (EB); basal diet plus supplementary magnesium (1 g/day) as magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 ). The bullets were administered at the beginning of a 9-day collection period. Both forms of magnesium supplementation increased (P<.05) plasma level, fecal excretion and urinary excretion of magnesium. Mean plasma magnesium levels (mg/100 ml) for the respective BD, AB, EB and MgSO 4 treatments were 1.9, 1.9, 1.7 and 1.9 initially, and 1.9, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.3 after 9 days of treatment. Fecal excretion of magnesium was greater (P<.05) and urinary excretion was lower (P<.05) in sheep given magnesium bullets than in sheep fed magnesium sulfate; differences between treatments AB and EB were not significant. Urinary calcium excretion tended to increase 4 Agrimin* Bullets-Sheep, Agricare Products, Pfizer Limited, Sandwich, England.

These results indicate that magnesium rumen bullets can provide substantial amounts of magnesium to sheep. However, as indicated by weights of bullets recovered from four sheep fed the semipurified diet, or from six sheep fed grass hay in another trial, the rate of decomposition of the bullets in the reticulo-rumen was highly variable.
