  • 38,39317497 + 508,24 × X1 – 148,557 × X2 – 3,63439 × X3 + 2,481331 × X4 + 8,353825 × X5 + 2,75896 × X6 + 268,8835 × X7

  • where:

    Ŷ
  • the estimated percentage of lean meat in a carcass;

  • X1
  • summary error of fitting points of cross section to circle with R sf radius at point P-66;

  • X2
  • outside convexity of carcass between maximum convexity of ham and shoulder at point Z-80;

  • X3
  • summary error of fitting points of cross section to circle with R radius at point P-58/summary error of fitting points of cross section to circle with R radius at point P-67;

  • X4
  • summary error of fitting points of cross section to circle with R sf radius at point P-103/summary error of fitting points of cross section to circle with R sf radius at point P-111;

  • X5
  • cross section partial depth at point P-49 in 3/10 of the section width/cross section partial depth at point P-49 in 5/10 of the section width;

  • X6
  • cross section maximum depth at point P-18/cross section maximum depth at point P-49;

  • X7
  • partial error in points of cross section to circle with R radius at point P-72 in the 4/10 of the cross sectional area.

  • This formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 60 and 120 kilograms (warm weight).
