Biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption around parturition and during lactation in dairy cows with high and low standard milk yields.
TL;DR: C cows showed increased bone resorption around parturition, and cows with higher milk yield mobilize calcium more actively from bone than cows with lower milk yield.

Comparison of bone resorption markers during hypocalcemia in dairy cows.
TL;DR: Assays for urinary deoxypyridinoline and serum carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen determinations are useful tools to follow the course of degradation of bone collagen in dairy cows.

The course of selected bone resorption marker concentrations in response to short-term hypocalcemia experimentally induced with disodium EDTA infusions in dairy cows.
TL;DR: The EDTA infusion had little effect on the concentrations of the measured bone markers, which may be due to the fact that the serum calcium pool was refilled by increased absorption of Ca via the gastrointestinal tract.

Evaluation of biochemical methods for estimating the sodium intake of dairy cows
TL;DR: The group receiving 10 to 20 g of salt a day had a significantly higher ratio of potassium:sodium in their urine than all the other groups, in which the ratio decreased as the level of supplementary salt increased.

Physiology of bone resorption during hypocalcemia in dairy cows
TL;DR: The collagen metabolites hydroxyproline (HYP), deoxypyridinoline (DPD) and carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) are suitable markers for bone resorption in humans and several animal species as discussed by the authors.
