Abstract:Summary
Bone turnover was estimated from biopsy cores from the wing of ilium in 24 mixed‐bred foals, aged 4.5–6.5 months and divided into 4 groups. A control group was fed according to NRC recommendations for foals growing at 0.65 kg/day, experimental groups diet for 16–18 weeks with additions of phosphorus (P, 388% of control level), digestible energy (DE, 129% of control level) or crude protein (CP, 126% of control level). Bone biopsies were taken in Week 7/8 and again at the end of the trial.
