Abstract
Phosphorus concentration in total fresh ribs is a sensitive criterion of the body phosphorus reserves. It may be estimated from: (a) measurement, on a biopsy sample of the 12th rib, of thicknesses of compact bone and osteoid tissue on the endosteal surface, or (b) the ratio of cortical bone area: total area, calculated from midshaft dimensions of the metacarpal or metatarsal. Key words: Cattle, phosphorus reserves, status, bone
