CCW is about 1% less than HCW(hot carcass weight) and is due to the loss of water content during the cooling period. Very lean carcasses will have greater moisture losses than fat carcasses.

Domaine(s)

  • Réglementation et normalisation (Alimentation)
CONT

Le PCF est inférieur d'environ 1 % au PCC [poids de la carcasse chaude], la perte de poids étant attribuable à la perte d'eau subie durant la phase de refroidissement. Les carcasses très maigres subissent des pertes d'eau plus grandes que les carcasses grasses.

Record 4 2011-06-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meats and Meat Industries
  • Slaughterhouses
  • Gravity (Physics)
CONT

Hot carcass weight should be obtained [to the nearest pound] immediately after dressing and prior to carcass chilling. Equations for estimating carcass lean were developed using skin-on, head-off carcasses. The carcasses should be weighed without any of the offal (liver, heart, tongue, kidney, leaf fat). Jowls and feet should be left on the carcass. Hot carcass weights should be adjusted to a skin-on, head-off basis. If pork carcasses are skinned, the hot carcass weights should be multiplied by 1.06 to adjust to skin-on weight. If carcasses are head-on, the hot carcass weights should be multiplied by 0.94 to adjust to head-off weight. If the carcasses are skinned and head-on, no adjustment is necessary because skin-off, head-on carcasses weigh approximately the same as skin-on, head-off carcasses.
