Accurate measurement of changes in body composition and in the energy content of live animals is crucial to understand the responses to the intake of nutrients. Despite the accuracy of the serial slaughter technique in determining body composition, it is very expensive and comparisons within an animal became impossible thus the need for an accurate method to predict body composition in the live animal is obviou...
objective of this work is the development of a simple and cost-effective video image analysis (VIA) system to evaluate kid carcass in small slaughter units. To achieve this objective a trial was conducted with 42 kid carcasses (6.6±2.6 kg) and models to predict carcass composition from VIA were established. While the carcasses were hanging in the gambrel an image of the dorsal view of each carcass was obtained ...
Abstract Carotid body tumors (CBTs) have an unpredictable history with no correlation between histology and clinical behavior. Of reported cases since 1891, local and distant metastases appear in approximately 10% of cases and remain the hallmark of malignancy. Currently, there are not enough data to support a single treatment regimen for malignant CBTs. The reported case demonstrates some unanswered issues wit...
