Abstract:
... Distribution and development of fat, muscles, and bone were studied repeatedly by computer tomography from 4 to 17 wk of age in two commercial strains of turkeys (BUT-9 and Nicholas) of both sexes. Generally, the proportion of total fat and meat increased and bone decreased significantly throughout the experimental period for both strains and sexes. When compared at the same age or body weight, BU ...

Abstract:
... Body composition of little brown bats, Myotis lucifugus was quantified to evaluate the proximate costs of reproduction in a small temperate mammal. Changes in the major components of body composition (water, lean dry, and fat mass) during the breeding season were analyzed in adult females and in young during the postnatal growth period. Changes in body composition of reproductive females were smal ...
