In general, Mg from plant sources is highly available, with 95% availability in 10 studies of galliform birds (76) The biological processes influencing bioavailability and absorption of Mg are complex, and although they have been little studied in birds, in mammals these processes apparently involve dietary levels of Na, Ca, P, and vitamin D.
