Abstract
This study was undertaken to determine the concentrations of collagen and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in different layers of joint cartilage of pigs. Effects of recombinant porcine somatotropin (rpST) treatment of pigs on cartilage composition was also examined. The results demonstrated that the concentrations of GAG uronic acid and collagen (measured as hydroxyproline) varied (P < 0.05) between different layers and were reduced (P < 0.05) by the rpST treatment. Key words: Osteochondrosis, articular-epiphyseal cartilage, hydroxyproline, glycosaminoglycan, recombinant porcine somatotropin, pigs
