The aim of this study was to determine the size and number of bone fragments by image analysis in 26 different poultry meat products. Bone fragments were identified by their colour and analysed automatically. A total of 854 images were processed. The samples contained between 135 and 2,167 bone particles the length of which varied from 5 to 2,088 microm. Comparing products of the same kind, we found differences in the contents of bone fragments; this fact was possibly due to inadequate observance of the technological procedure by some producers. The use of image analysis, as far as the histometric examination of the meat products is concerned, speeds up the work. Objective results, however, can be obtained only with well prepared and stained slides.
