[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1107675, member: 17767"] My vet performs the measurement in 2 dimensions on [b]heifers[/b]. A. Width of the birthcanal B. Height of the birthcanal. The units used are centimeters. Multiplying the two measurements provides a score in square centimeters. The minimum acceptable measurement at one year of age in Kentucky to meet state certified heifer qualifications is a score of 150 square centimeters. The 3D pelvimetry you reference would include a depth of birthcanal measurement. That is not included in the state of Kentucky certification. measurement. It could be that they are measuring the bulls for depth just to obtain additional data by the French Aubrac bull testing station. Intersting to see how the pelvic opening in a bull would translate to the off-spring! dun, question. I was of the impression that the vet was just measuring the width (side to side) and height (top to bottom). Are you saying, the pelvimeter is inserted and the two smallest points are determined and used to get the score? You are probably correct but I would like to know. That is a key critical difference.
