The use of spiral CAT for volumetric estimation of body composition of pigs (short communication)
Description
KA-HYB hybrid sows and male castrates of 100 kg liveweight were scanned first in vivo using spiral X-ray computer tomograph. After slaughter from the 30 pigs all internal organs were removed, the head was left on the carcass. After storage for 24 hours at 4 degree C whole carcasses were scanned again in the same positions as in vivo. The average number of volumetric scans taken per pig was 110, the total scanning time 120 seconds per animal
Abstract (German)
Sauen und Boerge wurden mit 100 kg Lebendgewicht in vivo mit spiral Roentgen-Computer-Tomographie (CAT) untersucht. Nach der Schlachtung wurde erneut tomographiert und anschliessend die Schlachtkoerper zerlegt. Zur Schaetzung der Teilstuecke aus den Ergebnissen der CAT in vivo und post mortem wurden Gleichungen mit sehr hohen Bestimmtheitsmassen entwickelt (0.91-0.96)Additional details
