bone ash

01/01/1986 - "The higher vit D level significantly enhanced growth, bone ash, and reduced incidence of rickets, although it had no effect on incidence of TD."
03/01/2004 - "The diets with 0.5% P resulted in overall poorer performance as 16-d BW was reduced, gain:feed ratio decreased, bone ash decreased, and rickets incidence increased. "
07/01/2003 - "However, when not exposed on day 1, but on days 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16, the bone ash was reduced, and the incidence of TD and rickets was increased, compared with chickens exposed on day 1 after hatching. "
01/01/1999 - "Extrusion of the diet did not influence bone ash and P rickets, both sensitive criteria of P deficiency. "
05/01/1990 - "The reduction in bone ash was relatively mild, and no clinical signs of rickets were observed. "

11/01/2015 - "Performance results at d 21 showed that supplementation with either of the 3 phytases improved body weight (P < 0.001) and feed intake (P < 0.05), and increased the relative weights of tibia ash (P < 0.05) and toe ash (P < 0.01). "
04/01/1983 - "Three-week body weight, food utilisation, fat retention, and bone ash of chicks were substantially improved by irradiating rye (0 to 10 Mrad) and were maximal at 6 Mrad. "
01/01/2009 - "This approach ignores that response variables (body weight, feed efficiency, bone ash, etc.) are continuous rather than discrete. "
09/01/2007 - "The fitted linear equation was Log (bone & ash weight +1) = 0.413 - 0.001 (age) + 0.003 (body weight). "
09/01/2007 - "There was negative correlation between age and bone & ash weight, while there was positive correlation between body length and body weight, body length and bone & ash weight, and body weight and bone & ash weight. "

05/01/1983 - "Average daily gain increased linearly (P less than .10) in response to increased dietary Ca level in Trial 1, but not in Trial 2. There were no significant differences among treatments in feed intake, carcass quality traits, bone ash, bone Ca, or overall characteristics in the blood metabolic profile including total serum or plasma Ca and plasma ionizable Ca. Increasing dietary Ca to .6% or more resulted in improved blood acid-base status during the initial weeks of feeding high concentrate diets, which is associated with heavier carcasses and a trend towards more rapid weight gain. "
01/01/2013 - "Plasma phosphate (mg/dL), total bone ash (%), and weight gain (g). "
07/01/1998 - "Again, chicks receiving a surfeit of D3 (1250 micrograms/kg) exhibited weight gains and bone ash values that were as great as those of chicks receiving 5, 10, 15 or 30 micrograms D3/kg. 5. It is apparent that young chicks have a high tolerance for excess D3, and chicks fed on diets that are severely deficient in available P continue to respond to D3 in excess of 37.5 micrograms/kg."
07/01/1998 - "3. With a P-adequate diet (4.5 g available P/kg) containing 8.5 g Ca/kg (assay 2), weight gain and bone ash increased linearly (P < 0.05) upon supplementing the basal diet with 0, 2.5 and 5.0 micrograms D3/kg. Higher doses of D3 did not elicit further responses, and chicks fed on a diet containing 1250 micrograms D3/kg gained as fast and had bone ash values that did not differ from those of chicks receiving 5, 10, 20 or 40 micrograms D3/kg. 4. When the maize-soyabean meal basal diet was fortified with Ca and P to achieve adequate amounts of Ca (10.1 g/kg) and P (4.5 g available P/kg) in assay 3, dietary additions produced results similar to those obtained in assay 2 where P was adequate and Ca was slightly deficient. "
07/01/1998 - "With a D3 concentration of 1250 micrograms/kg, 250 times the requirement recommended by the NRC, bone ash was increased (P < 0.05) over that of birds fed 37.5 micrograms/kg, and neither weight gain nor food intake were reduced. "

04/01/2005 - "These birds also had reduced bone ash, increased osteoclasia, a marked decrease in osteoblast activity, variable lengthening and shortening of the hypertrophic zone of the epiphyseal cartilage, decreased and disorganized formation of new bone, and a marked hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands as compared to birds collected from the third colony. "
