METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING BODY FAT IN ANIMALS

摘要

A method for measuring a body composition measure of an animal includes steps of measuring a first electrical impedance between a front foot pad of the animal and a rear foot pad of the animal; measuring a second electrical impedance between two front foot pads of the animal in parallel with one another and two rear foot pads of the animal in parallel with one another, and utilizing the first electrical impedance, the second electrical impedance, and a regression relationship to determine the body composition measure of the animal.
