About this title

Synopsis

Bringing together a mix of traditional and well established analytical methods with more modern techniques, Body Composition Analysis of Animals provides a theoretical overview of different methodologies combined with practical advice on the use of these techniques. Methods covered include the use of destructive methods of analysis, body condition indices, isotope and gas dilution methods, total body electrical conductivity, bio-impedance analysis, ultrasound scanning, and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry.

Book Description

The increase in concern over the ethics of animal experimentation has promoted a drive to develop ways of measuring body composition that are less invasive to animals. This book brings together for the first time valuable information on the methods that are available to animal biologists, assessing and evaluating both traditional and modern techniques. Although previous books have covered similar methods in their application to human body composition, the advice in the clinical setting has little relevance for the animal biologist. This book fills the gap in the market.
