Contenido:

Methods for assessing rumen characteristics such as volume, shape and weight in living animals may be useful for elucidating rumen function.
Computed tomography (CT) scanning has been used to estimate the lean, fat and bone contents of live sheep and to estimate some aspects of rumen morphology in sheep differing in methane yield. Here we report on aspects of calibration of CT scanning to estimate volume and weight of the reticulo-rumen.
