The main objective of the study was to observe the intracranial volume differences
between Kangal and Awassi sheep using computerized tomography and Cavalieri
principle and to observe the compatibility of the methods used. The intracranial
volumes of the craniums of six adult Kangal sheep and six adult Awassi sheep used
in the study were calculated using models taken from computerized tomography
sections and the Cavalieri principle performed on the models and compared. The
findings show that there are significant intracranial differences and high correlation
between both sexes. In addition, it has been observed that computed tomography
and volume calculations performed with the Cavalieri principle are compatible.
The study shows that computed tomography and Cavalieri principle methods are
effective tools in morphometric analysis and provide new information about the
morphological characteristics of different animal breeds. The results show that these
methods can be used as mutually supportive alternatives in future studies and can
contribute to the morphological analysis of animal species.
