Validación del software Kinovea en la obtención de medidas zoométricas en caballos de paso fino colombiano

The objective was to validate the Kinovea V0.9.5® (KV) software to obtain zoometric measurements in Colombian Paso Fino horses. Forty horses over four years of age that perform the Colombian Paso Fino gait were used, zoometric sticks of different sizes were used, and the KV computer program. Descriptive statistics of the average, minimum and maximum values, standard deviation and coefficient of variation were obtained. A Student's T test was applied and analyzed in the InfoStat statistical package (2020). To separate the means of the variables of heights at the withers and rump, longitudinal and sternal back diameters and head, neck and rump lengths. No significant difference was found (p>0.05) between manual measurement and measurements in KV. The averages of manual measurements were: height at the withers 143.13 ± 4.41 cm and rump 139.24 ± 4.25 cm, longitudinal diameters 150.19 ± 5.65 cm and sternal back 62.55 ± 2.98 cm, head lengths 56.83 ± 4.99 cm, neck 62.40 ± 5.57 cm and rump 47.91 ± 4.94 cm. The KV measurements were: height at the withers of 143.13 ± 4.41 cm and at the rump 139.24 ± 4.25 cm, longitudinal diameters 151.38 ± 5.52 cm and sternum 63.90 ± 3.07 cm, head lengths 58.11 ± 4.91 cm, neck 63.73 ± 5.57 cm and rump 48.83 ± 5.13 cm. It is concluded that traditional tools can be replaced by photogrammetric methods through the KV software, which allows obtaining results in less time without physical contact with the animals.
