Morphological and densitometric research of the tibial bone in the post-natal development in domestic geese.

Investigated were morphological and densitometric parameters of the tihiotarsal bones in White Koluda Geese over post-natal period as influenced by sex, age and bone area using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography. The study was performed on 100 bones of geese obtained from both sexes on 1, 14, 28, 42 and 56 day of life. Body weight, bone weight, bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC),...
