Filed:

Mar 11, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/381334

Inventors:

Neal S. Latman - Amarillo TX, US
Alan Nicholson - Canyon TX, US
Ladislado Garza - Amarillo TX, US
Mike Floyd - Amarillo TX, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/053

US Classification:

600547

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for measuring and analyzing the state of hydration of a horse, camel or other hairy animal including providing power to a transmitting circuit to transmit a signal to electrodes resulting in a potential difference across the electrodes causing a flow of current between the electrodes reflecting the impedance encountered and sending a signal reflecting such information to receiving circuits which pass that data to processing circuits which process that data with other external inputs to produce an output display reflecting an indication of the state of hydration of the animal, comprising:

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for measuring the percentage of fat trim and of saleable yield of cattle and their carcasses including providing power to a transmitting circuit to transmit a signal to electrodes resulting in a potential difference across the electrodes causing a flow of current between the electrodes reflecting the impedance encountered and sending a signal reflecting such information to receiving circuits which pass that data to processing circuits which process that data with other external inputs to produce an output display reflecting an indication of the state of hydration of the animal, comprising:
