Cow Live Weight vs Meat Weight
How to Use:
– Enter the **live weight** of the cow in kilograms. This is the total weight of the animal before processing.
– Input the **dressing percentage**, which is the portion of the live weight that becomes the carcass. Typically, this ranges from 50% to 60%. Check your supplier or slaughterhouse for specifics.
– Input the **processing loss percentage**, representing the loss during processing (fat trimming, bones, etc.). This is usually 10% to 30%.
Tip: Contact your local butcher, abattoir, or reference industry-specific resources for precise percentages.
