Technical Note Real-time ultrasound to predict rabbit carcass composition and volume of longissimus dorsi muscle
Real-time ultrasonography (RTU) was used to measure the longissimus dorsi muscle (LM) volume in vivo and to predict the carcass composition of rabbits. For this, 63 New Zealand White × Californian rabbits with 2093±63 g live weight were used. Animals were scanned between the 6th and 7th lumbar vertebrae using an RTU equipment with a 7.5 MHz probe. Measurements of LM volume were obtianed both in...
متن کاملmeasurement of subcutaneous fat thickness and longissimus dorsi muscle through ultrasound to estimate carcass composition in live moghani sheep
to investigate the possibility of using ultrasound to estimate carcass composition, 38 moghani male lambs were made use of. subcutaneous fat depth (usft) and longissimus dorsi muscle depth (ulmd) and area (ulma) were assessed in the site between 12th and 13th ribs by using ultrasound equipped with an 8 mhz probe. the lambs were then slaughtered. carcasses were cold stored at 4°c for 24 hours an...
متن کاملSheep carcass composition estimated from Longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle volume measured by in vivo real-time ultrasonography.
The use of Longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle (LM) volume measured in vivo by real-time ultrasonography (RTU) to estimate carcass composition was evaluated in 47 female sheep. Animals were scanned over six sites (7th, 9th, 11th and 13th thoracic vertebrae and 2nd and 4th lumbar vertebrae). After slaughter carcass weight (CW) and composition by dissection were determined. RTU volume measure...
متن کاملBackfat thickness and longissimus dorsi real-time ultrasound measurements in light lambs.
The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of ultrasound measurements for predicting carcass traits in 124 Spanish pascual-type lambs (13 to 16 kg carcass weight). Ultrasound images were taken transversal and longitudinal to the vertebral column and at thoracic (TV; between 12th and 13th ribs) and lumbar (LV; between first and second lumbar vertebrae) locations. Skin thickness, subcutaneo...
متن کاملEstimation of Lamb Carcass Composition Using Real-time Ultrasound
Real-time ultrasound measurements (Falco 100 device, linear probe 3.5 MHz) were used to estimate in vivo carcass composition of Hungarian Merino (n=9) and British Milksheep (n=10) ram-lambs. Animals aged 110-120 days and were growing 29.73+/-1.11 kg and 28.98+/--0.95 kg, resp. There were little between-breed differences in the ultrasound records for subcutaneous fat thickness (0.33+/-0.10 cm; 0...
