Dietary Phosphorus Concentrations Related To Breaking Load And Chemical Bone Properties In Heifers

Effects of dietary P on breaking load and chemical properties of bone were evaluated in growing beef heifers. Initially, 14 weaned Angus heifers received ad libitum a low P diet (.10% P dry basis) for 270 d

Criteria To Evaluate Bone Mineralization In Cattle: Noninvasive Techniques

n experiment was conducted to evaluate the capabilities of dual photon absorptiometry (PA), radiographic photometry (RP), and ultrasound (U) to estimate bone mineral content (BMC) and bone strength of a group of bovine third metacarpals (McIII).

Criteria To Evaluate Bone Mineralization In Cattle: I. Effect Of Dietary Phosphorus On Chemical, Physical, And Mechanical Properties.

Fourteen Angus heifers (210 +/- 6 kg initial BW) were allotted randomly to either a low P (LP: .12% P, DM basis) or an adequate P (AP: .20% P, DM basis) diet fed for 14 to 16 mo under drylot conditions on concrete floors to determine the influence of dietary P on chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of bone.
