Accuracy of predicting chemical body composition of growing pigs using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry

Studies in animal science assessing nutrient and energy efficiency or determining nutrient requirements benefit from gathering exact measurements of body composition or body nutrient contents. Those are acquired by standardized dissection or by grinding the body followed by wet chemical analysis, re...
