Investigation on effects of dietary aluminosilicates such as zeolites on poultry nutrition

Aluminum is known to be antagonistic toward phosphorus and fluorine and appears to exert its on phosphorus metabolism by binding with phosphorus in the intestinal tract and forming insoluble aluminum phosphates. Aluminum will decrease plasma inorganic phosphorus in Japanese quail hens, single Comb white Leghorn hens and in the progeny of a single Comb white Leghorn hen × broiler breeder male cross. Many of the effects of aluminum supplementation observed in present studies can be explained by aluminum's influence on phosphorus metabolism.
