Phosphate is also used as a building block for several important substances, including those used by the cell for energy, cell membranes, and DNA deoxyribonucleic acid. The body obtains phosphate from foods and excretes it in urine and sometimes stool.
How much phosphate is in stool varies, depending on how much is not absorbed from food. Foods that are high in phosphate include milk, egg yolks, chocolate, and soft drinks. Too high hyperphosphatemia Hyperphosphatemia High Level of Phosphate in the Blood In hyperphosphatemia, the level of phosphate in blood is too high. Phosphate is one of the body's electrolytes Too low hypophosphatemia Hypophosphatemia Low Level of Phosphate in the Blood In hypophosphatemia, the level of phosphate in blood is too low.

The Manual was first published in as a service to the community. The farmers cut it down and use it as green manure, an organic phosphorus fertilizer which helps grow high-quality crops like vegetables. The Agriculture and Food Security Center team also helps farmers contain erosion and runoff by encouraging them to keep some vegetative cover, either alive or dead, on the soil year-round. This is done through intercropping, leaving crop residue in the fields, contour planting on slopes or terracing.
New deposits are continually being discovered. We also have more efficient extraction that is getting more phosphate rock out of land-based sediments. And there is an enormous gigaton deposit of phosphorus in the continental shelf from Florida to Maritime Canada that scientists have known about for years. Now there is some experimental extraction going on off the coast of North Carolina. Pedro Sanchez, author of Properties and Management of Soils in the Tropics published in , which continues to be a bestseller, is currently working on Tropical Soils Science , an update of his previous work.
It will be published by Correction: This post was updated on March 22, to remove a statement that phosphorus is a renewable resource. Phosphorus is one of the vital nutrient that is needed for life to continue. Plants and Animals require phosphorus for their survival. Thanks for sharing with us. Thanks for the great article.
Although it is quite factual, I am disturbed by the fact that Pedro insists that we are not going to run out while saying that there is a to year supply. To me, years is not a long time at all. Unspoken is that Canada only has 2 mines and one has 30 years of reserve, the other Thanks so much for that educative part.
I will start a research to find out if processing of a lower grade phosphate rock could have been the cause of maize diseases we have being experiencing here in Kenya for the past 2 years. The disease is called Maize lethralnicrosis. Thanks once more. Thanks for sharing this educative details about phosphorus, what I think might cause a lot fear in future is the different government polices restricting the export of phosphate fertilizer around the world.
The government simply use it locally in supporting farmers through input subsidy programme and restricting export and banning imports through the Tanzania Bureau of Standard, so this restrictions can result in higher prices for phosphate fertilizers and eventually higher food crises in other parts of the world.
There are significant grasslands on Earth that are simply not used for cattle or chicken grazing. There is absolutely no need to grow grain for either, and neither animal should eat grains, especially corn. The agriculture industry is so expensive and inefficient that using grasslands to raise cattle and chickens would reduce their cost per unit by a factor of ten! That is just how badly corporations have managed agricultural affordability. Ok, just so you know.
Your statement is factually incorrect. Chickens do not digest fiber. They eat cereal grains and are basically the most efficient resource converting animals in agriculture. It is time we rise up and create awareness on phosphorus existence in our ecosystems and how we can exploit it. Where can you find a fluids separation plant that would extract the minerals. Wonder how difficult it would be to build a fluids seperation facility. Seems like everyone is filled with piss and vinegar…may as well get rich with it and save the planet as well?
Great work. I enjoyed reading. Province is indeed good. Peak phosphorus might as well be a fantasy. Yet, man should encourage use of guano and other organic manure in agricultural production. Our ancestor used them, successfully.
Understandably, the rapid increase in global population and consequently increased food demand makes the enhanced use of phosphorus more urgent, in the short run. It helps find problems with certain glands, such as the parathyroid glands.
The test is also used to find a cause for abnormal vitamin D levels. Tell your doctor ALL the medicines, vitamins, supplements, and herbal remedies you take. Some may affect the test results. Your doctor will tell you if you should stop taking any of them before the test and how soon to do it.
A heel stick is used to get a blood sample from a baby. The baby's heel is poked, and several drops of blood are collected. A baby may have a tiny bruise where the heel was poked. When a blood sample is taken, you may feel nothing at all from the needle.
Or you might feel a quick sting or pinch. A brief pain, like a sting or a pinch, is usually felt when the lancet punctures the skin. A baby may feel a little discomfort with the skin puncture. There is very little chance of having a problem from this test. When a blood sample is taken, a small bruise may form at the site. There is very little risk of a problem from a heel stick. A baby may get a small bruise at the puncture site. Phosphate levels are usually higher in children than in adults.
That's because of the active bone growth occurring in children. Each lab has a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should show the range that your lab uses for each test. The normal range is just a guide. Your doctor will also look at your results based on your age, health, and other factors.
A value that isn't in the normal range may still be normal for you. Dalkin MD - Endocrinology. Author: Healthwise Staff.
