Bioelectrical impedance analysis for the prediction of fat-free mass in buffalo calf

Abstract: The objective of this study has been to develop a prediction equation of fat-free mass (FFM) from buffalo calves. Twenty buffaloes were fed ad libitum access at unifeed, with vitamin-mineral integration, for 14 months. Seven days before slaughtering, the animals were weighed and bioelectrical impedance measurements were collected. The data were analyzed by multiple linear regressions to evaluate the relationship between FFM and various predictor variables. Stepwise regression was used to eliminate variables th… Show more

“…Higbie et al (2002) estimated total lean and total fat weight in pork carcasses by measuring total body electrical conductivity (TOBEC) of pig carcass. Sarubbi et al (2008) predicted the fat‐free mass (FFM) of buffalo calf based on bioimpedance. Chanet et al (1999) assessed moisture and lipid content of potted minced pork based on bioimpedance for the control of the production process of canned meat.…”

“…Besides, differently from traditional methods, BIA does not require the sacrifice of animals to evaluate tissue composition and energetic level unless dissection is performed when applicable (7) . The principles of BIA have been applied and adapted for animal production to determine the tissue composition of swine (8) , bovines (9) , ovine (10,11) , bubalus (12) carcasses as well as to evaluate the composition of raw cow milk (2) .…”

“…Several techniques have been reported as valuable tools for estimation of carcass composition for pig, sheep and cattle, but little information has been reported for kid carcass composition. One of these techniques is bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), which has provided good predictions of leaness for pig (Swantek et al, 1992 andMarchello et al, 1999a;Daza et al, 2006), sheep (Jenkins et al, 1988;Berg and Marchello, 1994;Berg et al, 1996), cattle (Marchello and Slanger, 1992;Velazco et al, 1999;Marchello et al, 1999b) and buffalo (Sarubbi et al, 2008). Other techniques such as computer tomography (e.g.…”
