Forty-eight female pigs slaughter at 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 kg were used to determine commercial cut and of lean meat yields in pork carcass, with a view of the Longissimus muscle area and backfat thickness estimation by using the real-time ultrasound technology. Live ultrasonic measurements were taken for Longissimus muscle area and for backfat thickness and measures in the hot carcass were made, using optical Henessy equipment, to estimate the backfat thickness and Longissimus muscle […]
Keywords: backfat thickness; lean meat yield; loin eye area; meat cuts; multiple and simple equations
