| Abstract | An ideal technology for non-invasive analysis of body composition should provide highly precise and accurate direct measurements of fat, lean mass and total water of non-anaesthetized subjects within minutes. We validate a quantitative magnetic resonance (QMR) body composition analyzer for birds using House Sparrows (Passer domesticus), European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), and Zebra Finches (Taeniopygia guttata). Subjects were scanned awake for three replicate scans of 1.5–3.5 min, and results were compared to gravimetric chemical analysis. Coefficients of variation were ≤3% for dry fat, wet lean mass and total water. Accuracy of the raw QMR data for fat and total water were high (relative errors ≤±12.5 and ≤±4%, respectively), but wet lean mass was significantly biased because QMR does not detect structural tissues. Calibration against gravimetric chemical analysis removed bias and improved accuracy; relative errors were ±6–11% for fat, ±1–2% for wet lean mass, and ±2–4% for total water. QMR is field-portable when transported in a temperature-controlled trailer, and can be used to study fuel storage and body composition dynamics during migration, reproduction, nestling growth, or wintering. In the laboratory, QMR can be used for longitudinal studies of birds under photoperiod, endocrine or other manipulations. Measurements taken before and after metabolic challenges, such as flight in a wind tunnel, make it possible to calculate energy costs, fuel selection and changes in hydration. QMR should find wide application in field and laboratory studies.Methoden für nichtinvasive Körperzusammensetzungs-Analysen sollen im Idealfall präzise und direkte Bestimmungen von Fett- und fett-freier Masse sowie dem totalen Wasseranteil von nichtanästisierten Tieren innerhalb von Minuten erlauben. Wir validieren eine quantitative Magnet-Resonanz (QMR) Körperzusammensetzungs-Analyse für Vögel anhand von Haussperling (Passer domesticus), Star (Sturnus vulgaris), und Zebrafink (Taeniopygia guttatai). Die Vögel wurden im wachen Zustand dreimal 1.5 bis 3.5 Minuten lang gemessen, und die Ergebnisse wurden mit einer chemischen Analyse verglichen. Variationskoeffizienten waren ≤ 3% für Fett (ohne Wasser), fett-freie Masse (mit Wasser) und für den gesamten Wasseranteil. Die Präzision der rohen QMR Daten für Fett und Wasseranteil war hoch (relative Messfehler: ≤±12.5% und ≤±4%), aber die Messung von fett-freier Masse (ohne Wasser) war beeinträchtigt, weil QMR keine strukturellen Gewebe erfasst. Die Kalibrierung mit chemischer Analyse behob dieses Problem und erhöhte die Genauigkeit; die relativen Messfehler waren ±6–11% für Fett, ±1–2% für fett-freie Masse (mit Wasser), and ±2–4% für den gesamten Wasseranteil. QMR findet Anwendung bei der Feldarbeit, um Fettdeposition während des Zuges, der Reproduktion, des Nestlingswachstum oder beim Űberwintern zu bestimmen. QMR kann auch im Labor angewandt werden, wenn z.B. die Photoperiode oder das Hormonsystem übere längere Zeiträume manipuliert werden. Messungen, die vor und nach Manipulation des Stoffwechels stattfinden, wie z.B. nach einem Flug in einem Windtunnel, ermöglichen es, Energiekosten, Brennstoffzusammensetzung und Veränderungen im Hydrationszustand zu berechnen. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
