Determining the Surface Areas of Miniature Swine and Domestic Swine by Geometric Design--A Comparative Study

Abstract

The geometric design method provides an accurate means of deriving the total body surface area (TBSA) of miniature swine and also the percentage of the TBSA for a given area. The formulae for TBSA derived for domestic swine and the 'Rules of 5' are not applicable to miniature swine. The equation S = 0.121 W.(575) provides a more accurate, quick assessment of TBSA of miniature swine.
