Fattening mature indigenous (Matabele) goats: effects on animal performance, body and carcass composition by Hatendi, P.R., Smith, T., Ndlovu, L., Mutisi, C.

“…Complete cereal-based diets, containing either 50, 33, 22, or 10 veld hay (9. 7, 10.3, 11.6, and 12.1 MJ ME/kg DM, respectively) were fed to 40 wethers, to achieve a target body mass gain of 10 kg by 230 days. Ten animals were slaughtered at the start of the experiment to determine initial carcass mass and the body and carcass composition. for animals which attained the target, slaughter mass growth rate and feed intake were similar between diets. …”

Utvärdering av två hullbedömningssystem för katt av en djursjukskötarstudent och djurägare by Klint, Ardente

“…This can be detected and prevented by body condition assessment methods in order to visualize and detect possible or potential weight problems in cats.To achieve the best results, owner and cat should be introduced to this as soon as possible in their contact with veterinary care.Purina Body Condition System and Walthams Feline Body Mass Index are both morphometric assessment methods that are quick, relatively cheap and simple to perform. 20 cats with owners and a veterinary nurse student participated in a study to compare pet owners and a veterinary nurse student's assessment of the Purina Body Condition System and WALTHAM's Feline Body Mass Index. …”
