The effect of phosphate supplementation on bone formation wasassessed in six healthy adult dogs. For each dog, bone formationwas measured for a 12-week period of phosphate supplementation aswell as for a 12-week control period. Here are the results inpercent growth per year:
| Dog | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Control | 1.73 | 3.37 | 3.59 | 2.05 | 1.86 | 3.60 |
| Phosphate | 8.16 | 4.58 | 3.98 | 5.24 | 3.04 | 7.03 |
The authors concluded that phosphatesupplementation significantly increased bone formation compared tothe control. Do an analysis to verify this statement.
