Division 3 The lean meat content of carcases shall be calculated according to the following formula:F1
United Kingdom
Ŷ = 54,0770376148 – (0,4460170496 × MS) + (0,1046346719 × MF) – (0,0575429366 × VaF) + (0,2303135777 × VcF) – (0,1637971133 × VdF)
where:
-
Ŷ = the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,
-
MS — mean averaged fat depth over M. gluteus medius (mm),
-
MF — mean averaged muscle depth of the muscles lumbar and M. gluteus medius (mm),
-
VaF, VcF, VdF — mean averaged muscle depth over the selected three lumbar vertebral bodies cranial (mm).
