methods for assessing muscle development in the upper line of a horse and for assessing an attribute of an animal; and, system for measuring the musculature of an animal.

摘要

the present invention relates to methods and devices for measuring the musculature of an animal. in some modalities, the animal's musculature is measured using generating animal traces using a flexicurve ruler and comparing the traces with reference and / or previous animal traces. the methods can be used to improve an animal's musculature by assessing the animal's muscle development and changing the animal's diet or exercise regime based on the results of the assessment.
