Investigation into Lean Meat Yield (LMY)

Livestock Data Link (LDL) has implemented algorithms or equations for the prediction of Lean Meat Yield (LMY) from carcase traits measured within processing plants for both cattle and sheep. The accuracy and range of values derived from such algorithms are inherently dependent on the accuracy of data inputs. This project will provide recommendations around how we manage LMY in LDL but also how LDL can report LMY from multiple devices.
