- W20917772 abstract "Background – Body composition in horses is usually estimated qualitatively from body condition score. In many situations, including the design of equine feeding and training programs, it is desirable to have an accurate measure of body composition. Recent developments in the human application of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) provide an inexpensive and rapid technique for determining total body water, lean body mass and fat.Objective – The objective of this study was to define and validate the most correct, safe and applicable measurement protocol for use in horses with particular attention to electrode type and anatomical location.Methodology – The standard adhesive electrode as used in humans requires the hair directly under the electrode attachment site to be shaved and was compared to a needle electrode (25G, 1.5″ inserted 2-3 mm under the skin), which required no site preparation in 10 yearling and 9 two-year old Australian Stock Horses. Electrode types were assessed for ease of site preparation and tolerance by the horse. Electrode locations compared were: at the carpal and tarsal joints and a poll to dock configuration where electrodes were attached at the wing of the atlas and the point of the tuber ischii using 6 pregnant Standardbred mares. Impedance data in the frequency range 4-1000 kHz, were collected using an ImpediMed SBF7 BIA device. Data for each configuration were assessed for Time required for data collection time, data quality and procedure tolerance by the horse.Outcomes – Of the two electrode types and configurations that were assessed, the needle electrodes used in the poll to dock configuration enabled quick, reliable data collection that was well tolerated by the horse and easily applied. These configurations were applied successfully in validation studies of the method against reference methods of body composition analysis, viz deuterium and naBr dilution for total body water and extracellular water respectively.Conclusion – The application of the BIS technique of body composition analysis to the horse, together with its validation by isotope dilution measurement of body water volumes, will improve equine welfare through the refinement of equine feeding and training practices." @default.
