Bone: more than a stick.
Despite the importance of the skeleton for animal welfare, research into the skeletal biology of farmed species is relatively neglected. This review describes basic concepts relating to current knowledge of the control processes responsible for bone growth and its subsequent remodeling from a physiological, cell biological, and mechanical function perspective.
