Division 3 The lean meat content of a carcass shall be calculated according to the following formula:F1
United Kingdom
Ŷ = 75,39088 – (1,39968 × R2P1) – (0,45787 × R2P4) – (0,47094 × R2P10) + (0,20349 × R4P6)
where:
- Ŷ =
the estimated percentage of lean meat in a carcass,
- R2P1 =
the average thickness of the skin;
- R2P4 =
the P2 fat measure at the selected position in mm;
- R2P10 =
minimum fat of the cross-section in mm;
- R4P6 =
the fat 1 measurements in the selected MFT point.
This formula is valid for carcasses weighing between 60 and 120 kg (warm weight).
