Unmanned aerial system (UAS) photogrammetry offers a method that is safer for both animals and researchers and is logistically simpler than traditional weighing methods (Fiori et al. 2017). Additional
Mass was estimated using three methods: elliptical “cones”, “correction equation”, and “silhouette slice”. Percent error was calculated as 100*the difference between the estimated mass and the actual
ABSTRACT: The aims of this study were: 1) to compare the tape weight and associated weight-estimation formula to evaluate weight gain in pregnant mares, and 2) to develop a mathematical model to estim
