Calculation method of live pig meat yield

Mondo Education Updated on 2024-02-27

The meat yield of live pigs is quite different from that of wet pigs and dry pigs.

When we delve deeper into how pigs are raised, a key indicator that cannot be ignored is the net meat ratio of pigs. Net meat percentage, also known as meat yield, is an important indicator for evaluating the quality and economic performance of a pig.

The formula for calculating this indicator is: net meat ratio of pigs = net meat weight live weight before slaughter x 100. Through this formula, we can clearly understand that the net meat ratio of pigs is closely related to their live weight before slaughter and net meat weight.

First of all, let's understand the concept of wet pigs and dry pigs. Wet pigs are more commonly reared in free-range conditions, where pigs can move and forage freely. Dry pigs, on the other hand, are mainly fed with feed, and their feeding environment and management methods may be different from those of wet pigs.

In terms of meat yield, there was a significant difference between wet and dry pigs. Due to their free-foraging habits, the meat quality of wet pigs may vary depending on the diversity of food, so their meat yield is 06-0.73 floating. Due to the stability and controllability of feed feeding, the meat quality of dry feed pigs may be more uniform, and the meat yield is generally 067-0.73 between.

However, it is important to note that although dry pigs have a relatively high meat yield, this does not mean that wet pigs do not have advantages. The breeding method of wet pigs is more in line with the natural habits of pigs and may be more conducive to their healthy growth. At the same time, wet pigs are more active, which may help to improve the taste and nutritional value of the meat.

In general, there are differences in meat yield between wet and dry pigs, which is mainly due to the difference in their breeding methods and management methods. When choosing a breeding method, we need to comprehensively consider many factors such as pig welfare, economic benefits and market demand. Only in this way can we find the most suitable breeding method for ourselves and achieve a win-win situation of economic and social benefits.
