H. Birke et al., BIOCHEMICAL-ANALYSIS OF PIG FETUSES .2. T HE TISSUE CONTENT OF TOTAL-P, IRON, COPPER AND ZINC, Tierarztliche Umschau, 51(9), 1996, pp. 582
The tissue content of total phosphate, iron, copper and zinc was deter
mined in pig fetuses at 50, 65, 75, 85, 95 and 110 days of age. The gr
eatest content of total phosphate in the cerebrum, cardiac muscle, liv
er and kidneys were found in 50 day old fetuses. The fetal liver is ac
tive in the storage of iron, copper and zinc.
