Nottingham, United Kingdom. The incidence of developmental orthopedic disease on a commercial Thoroughbred farm was studied over a four-year period. A total of 271 foals were monitored. […]

The objectives of this investigation were to assess the relationship between chemical measures and imaging estimates (radiographic photometry and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) of bone mineral content in dairy cows and to evaluate the effects of parity, stage of lactation, and site of measurement (fused third and fourth metacarpal bone vs. caudal vertebrae 14 and 15) on bone mineral content.

Effects of dietary P on breaking load and chemical properties of bone were evaluated in growing beef heifers.

Effects of dietary P on concentrations of P in blood, milk, feces, bone, saliva, rumen fluid, various tissues and hair of growing Angus heifers were evaluated.
