ŷ |
= |
the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass, |
|

b |
= |
the visible thickness in millimetres of the lumbar muscle on the midline of the split carcass, measured as the shortest connection between the front (cranial) end of the Musculus glutaeus medius and the upper (dorsal) edge of the vertebral canal. |
The formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 70 and 130 kilograms.
