Bone
metabolism
Korver’s other main area of research addresses avian bone
metabolism. His research group has validated the use of quantitative computed
tomography to measure distribution of bone mineral among various bone types in
poultry. Assessing bone mineral density in live birds allows for a more
efficient use of experimental birds than traditional methods. It also allows
bone mineralization in individual birds to be followed through the various
stages of production.
