Division 3 The lean meat content of carcases shall be calculated using the following formula:
United Kingdom
= 62,68 – 0,921 G + 0,204 M
where:
the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcase,
the thickness of the fat (including rind), between the second and third last lumbar ribs, at 6 cm off the dorsal midline, at a trajectory perpendicular to the rind (in millimetres),
the thickness of the muscle, between the second and third last lumbar ribs, at 6 cm off the dorsal midline, at a trajectory perpendicular to the rind (in millimetres).
This formula shall be valid for carcases weighing between 45 and 125 kg.
