Abstract(s)
objective of this work is the development of a simple and cost-effective video image analysis
(VIA) system to evaluate kid carcass in small slaughter units. To achieve this objective a trial was
conducted with 42 kid carcasses (6.6±2.6 kg) and models to predict carcass composition from VIA
were established. While the carcasses were hanging in the gambrel an image of the dorsal view
of each carcass was obtained with a digital camera (Sony, DCR-TRV460). For imaging, carcasses
were placed in front of a non-glare black surface and illuminated with standard lighting. The
camera was placed perpendicular to the carcass long axis. A total of 44 geometric measurements
(linear and area) were obtained after carcass image analysis with the ImageJ 1.39J software.
