The use of computed tomography for in vivo estimation of reticulo-rumen and omasum contents in Alpine goats

Precise in vivo measurement of reticulo-rumen content (volume and mass) is required for the study of digestive processes. Rumen-cannulated animals have been classically used for this purpose, and less invasive alternatives are currently investigated to meet the replacement, reduction, and refinement...
