Abstract

The collagen metabolites hydroxyproline (HYP), deoxypyridinoline (DPD) and the carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) are suitable markers for bone resorption in humans and several animal species. In this study we wanted to investigate if these specific bone markers are also suitable to make evidence of bone resorption during hypocalcemia in dairy cows.
