Abstract
The distal halves of third metacarpals from 93 crossbred pigs were used to determine the effect of hydration time (0, 30, 60 or 120 min) for frozen or thawed (2 h) bones on volume and specific gravity. Based on the findings of this study, a procedure for the determination of volume and specific gravity is suggested. Key words: Specific gravity, hydration, bone, pigsKeywords
