Stereological estimation of volume ratios of chest muscle in Atak-s hybrid with Rhode Island Red and Barred Rock pure lines by magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract
In-vivo determination of the volume ratio of breast muscles among the first local laying hybrid chicken and its parents Rhode Island Red (RIR) and Barred Rock (BAR) by using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technique with Cavalieri principle and comparing of these data between the three breeds were aimed in this study. Ten pair of 50 weeks old RIR, BAR and ATAK-S hybrid breeds were used as research subjects. After scanning of the whole body with 3.0 Tesla MR scanner, cross-sections were taken from the same levels with the MR images and photographed. The parameters obtained from MR images and physical sections were evaluated with Cavalieri principle by using Stereo Investigator 10.50 software. The ratios of the chest muscle volume to the total body volume on the transversal cross-sectional images for ATAK-S, RIR and BAR are 0.140± 0.003, 0.129 ± 0.006 and 0.128 ± 0.002 respectively. As a result, comparative breast volume ratio measurements between three breeds were evaluated (ATAK-S, RIR and BAR) in this study. The volume ratios of the pectoral muscles in ATAK-S hybrid chicken were higher than the parents.
