ANNEX GRADING METHOD FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF PIG CARCASSES IN MALTA CSB Image-Meater 2.0 1. The rules of this grading method shall apply when the grading of pig carcasses is carried out by means of the apparatus known as ‘CSB Image-Meater 2.0’. 2. The CSB Image-Meater 2.0 consists of a video camera, a PC equipped with an image-analysis card, a screen, a printer, a command mechanism, a trigger mechanism and interfaces. The four CSB Image-Meater 2.0 variables are measured at the split line in the ham area (around gluteus medius muscle). The measured values are transformed into estimation of the lean meat percentage by a central unit. 3. The lean meat content of a carcass shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: Y = 68,39920953 – (0,39050694 × F) – (0,32611391 × V4F) + (0,07864716 × M) – (0,00762296 × V4M) Where: Y = the estimated percentage of lean meat in a carcass, F = fat thickness as thinnest layer above muscle gluteus medius (in mm), V4F = average fat thickness of the complete bacon layer above the four lumbar vertebrae (called VaF, VbF, VcF, VdF) (in mm), M = meat thickness from the cranial edge of muscle gluteus medius and the vertebrae canal (in mm), V4M = average meat thickness above the four lumbar vertebrae (called VaM, VbM, VcM, VdM) (in mm). This formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 60 and 120 kg (warm weight).
