Chicken Osteocalcin (OC) ELISA Kit

For avian bone metabolism studies, this ELISA kit from Assay Genie measures osteocalcin, a vitamin K-dependent, gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein synthesized by osteoblasts and a well-established biomarker of bone formation and turnover. In chickens, osteocalcin is incorporated into the hydroxyapatite matrix of bone and also circulates in the bloodstream, where it is widely monitored in poultry research to evaluate skeletal development, bone mineralization, and calcium homeostasis in broilers and laying hens. The kit supports investigations into skeletal disorders such as tibial dyschondroplasia and osteoporosis, as well as the effects of nutritional interventions, vitamin D status, and laying cycle stage on chicken bone health. Supplied as a complete reagent set in a 96 assays configuration, the assay is read on a standard microplate reader and fits within routine laboratory immunoassay workflows. Researchers can apply it to chicken blood-derived samples to quantify circulating osteocalcin concentrations as part of bone metabolism studies, and the kit format is intended for research use only in academic, veterinary, and industrial poultry science settings.
