LMPAF3 = 66,63699 – 1,06859 R2P9 – 0,78459 R2P10 + 0,06723 R3P5

where:

LMPAF3

  • the estimated percentage of lean meat in a carcase;

    • R2P9

  • The thickness of skin at the minimum fat thickness (MFT) point in mm, where the MFT is the minimum position of the fat profile, after the skin profile has been subtracted;

    • R2P10

  • minimum fat of the cross-section in mm;

    • R3P5

  • maximum meat measure, equal to the maximum rib position minus minimum fat position converted to mm.
