摘要: Abstract AIMS: To assess the relationship between radiographic and microscopic appearance of physeal regions distal third metacarpal (Mc3) metatarsal (Mt3) bones Thoroughbred foals at 160 days age, to clinically changes in contour Mc3 Mt3 from birth age. relationships maximum clinical physis scores time year, foal's sex, condition score, growth rate, copper (Cu) concentration liver foal, supplementation dam with Cu late gestation. METHODS: Dams were given (n=5 n=11, Years 1 2, respectively) or saline n=12, injections Liver biopsies harvested first week life, whole homogenised after animals euthanised around determine concentrations. Pasture samples collected every 4–8 weeks for analysis mineral composition. Dur...
