Accurate assessment of gestational age and fetal weight in the pregnant ewe is important in both acute and longitudinal perinatal studies. We describe two morphometric methods based on the length of the fetal metatarsal bone. These measurements can be made intraoperatively or at postmortem. Metatarsal bone lengths can be used to better predict gestational age and fetal weight than previously described methods.
在急性和纵向围产期研究中,准确评估怀孕母羊的孕周和胎儿体重都很重要。我们描述了两种基于胎儿跖骨长度的形态测量方法。这些测量可以在手术中或死后进行。与先前描述的方法相比,跖骨长度可用于更好地预测孕周和胎儿体重。
