Abstract: Bone is the basic framework of the body structure. The dynamic homeostasis between bone formation and bone resorption determines the bone health. Calcium and phosphorus are important mineral elements involved in animal bone growth and development, and their absorption and regulation by the body directly affect the bone metabolism. Changes in serum calcium and phosphorus levels alter the body′s secretion of relevant regulatory hormones that affect bone development. Therefore, calcium and phosphorus metabolism is closely related to bone health. Based on the researches on calcium and phosphorus metabolism as well as bone metabolism abroad and in China, this paper reviews the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, their contents and proportions, and the regulatory mechanism of calcium and phosphorus metabolism related adjusting hormones on bone development, in hoping to provide references for further studies on the regulation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism and bone in animals.

Key words: bone health, calcium metabolism, phosphorus metabolism, regulatory mechanism
