Data from the measurement of bone density of laying hens using post mortem density and quasi static material testing and live bird x-ray derived density estimates. This is for the validation of live bird x-ray as a potential tool for genetic selection. A reproducability/repeatability study and a manipulation of skeletal quality experiment are included and a SOP for the performance of the technique to allow replication and to give more data than in the paper this accompanies.
