Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Ŷ = 75,39088 – (1,39968 × R2P1) – (0,45787 × R2P4) – (0,47094 × R2P10) + (0,20349 × R4P6)

where:

  1. Ŷ =

    the estimated percentage of lean meat in a carcass,

  2. R2P1 =

    the average thickness of the skin;

  3. R2P4 =

    the P2 fat measure at the selected position in mm;

  4. R2P10 =

    minimum fat of the cross-section in mm;

  5. R4P6 =

    the fat 1 measurements in the selected MFT point.

This formula is valid for carcasses weighing between 60 and 120 kg (warm weight).
