The formula to calculate the Meat Weight from a Cow’s Live Weight is:
\[ MW = LW \times r \]
Where:
Cow live weight vs meat weight refers to the difference between the weight of a cow when it is alive and the weight of the meat that is obtained from it after it is slaughtered. The live weight, also known as the on-hoof weight, includes the weight of the bones, skin, internal organs, blood, and other parts that are typically not consumed. The meat weight, also known as the carcass weight or dressed weight, is the weight of the edible parts of the cow. The meat weight is usually significantly less than the live weight.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ MW = 500 \times 0.60 = 300 \, \text{kg} \]
The Meat Weight is approximately 300 kg.
