Evidence of the validity and accuracy of dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to measure in vivo body composition is limited. We compared DXA estimates made in prone and side positions with measurements of chemical composition of 20 pigs (10 barrows and 10 gilts) weighing 52–113 kg. DXA yielded similar estimates of body composition in prone and side positions. DXA estimates of body composition were ...

in this paper, preparation, bioactivity, and osteoblast cell behavior of cortical bone derived nanobiphasic calcium phosphate (nano-bcp) are presented. the calcined bovine bone samples with the addition of di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate were heated at 700°c for 100 min, and thus nano-bcp with the composition of 63/37 hydroxyapatite (ha)/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-tcp) was produced. scanning elec...

twenty four primiparous and multiparous holstein cows on early lactation, beginning five weeks postpartum, were used for four weeks to investigate the effects of supplemention of rumen-protected choline (rpc) or vitamin e on milk yield, milk composition, dry matter intake, body condition score and body weight. the cows were randomly assigned to one of the following treatments: i)no supplement (...
