Correlations Between Osteocytes and Bone Density in Bovine Bony Pelvic Floor: A Pilot Study

). Thus, bone adaptation was location-specific; in cows, the load was the greatest in the region of the ischia where dense bone mass accumulated, but in heifers, the tension was distributed more equally across the pelvic floor. Due to adaptation, multiparity did not lessen the bone density of the cows' pelvic floor. The correlation between bone density and the presence of bone cells in the bovine pelvic floor was weak and not significant and was surprising. Further studies with other histological methods may help to clarify these findings.
