Data of "Accuracy of predicting chemical body composition of growing pigs by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry"

<p>Data set for article &quot;Accuracy of predicting chemical body composition of growing pigs by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry&quot; (DOI). Data set of Swiss Large White entire male pigs for nutrient composition (water, lipid, N, ash, Ca and P) determined by wet-chemistry and body composition (lean mass, body mineral content and fat tissue mass) by&nbsp;dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in the empty body of live pigs and (N=61) in pig carcasses (N=68) within a body weight range from 20 to 100 kg.</p> <p><strong>metadata.xlsx</strong>: description of variables in the data sets</p> <p><strong>emptybody.txt</strong>: corresponds to contents of the empty body at slaughter (three days after DXA live scans) and DXA live scans</p> <p><strong>Carcass.txt</strong>: corresponds to carcass contents and DXA carcass scans on the day of slaughter</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
