Ammonium chloride was added to diets varying in Ca content to evaluate its potential in preventing silica urolith formation in sheep. A 2 x 2 factorial experiment involved wether lambs with ad libitum access to a diet of 50% grass hay and 50% ground oats plus supplement. The basal diet contained on a DM basis 3.3% SiO2, .31% Ca, .22% P, 11.6% CP, and 26% ADF. Treatments (38 to 39 lambs/treatment) consisted of a control (C), limestone to increase dietary calcium to .6% (L), 1% ammonium chloride…

It is demonstrated that Zn deficiency and, to a lesser extent, Cu deficiency contributed to silica urolith formation in rats fed diets having a high content of absorbable Si, as indicated by a 23% Si-mediated weight gain response in Zn-deficient rats.

It can be concluded that feeding the ADF-16 diet, produced a trend of high urinary P, high serum P and a tendency for a high crystal count in the urine over the four week experimental period, which can be considered strong risk factors for the development of phosphatic uroliths.

It is concluded that during summer months lack of fiber intake and increased dependence on concentrate feed would have played a role in predisposition of obstructive urolithiasis exclusively involving such a large number of male hoggets for the first time in the history of the institute.
