# Commission Decision of 14 July 1989 authorizing methods for grading pig carcases in Germany (Only the German text is authentic) (89/471/EEC), Division 2

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The lean meat content of carcases shall be calculated according to the following formula:
LMP = 58,10122 – 0,56495•F + 0,13199•M
where:
LMP = the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,
F — fat measure, the minimum thickness of visible fat (including rind) covering the M. glutaeus medius on the midline of the split carcass (mm),
M — meat measure, measured at the shortest connection between the front (cranial) end of the M. glutaeus medius and the upper (dorsal) edge of the vertebral canal (mm).
This formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 50 and 120 kg.
