To grow up, leave pig, bull or other animal, it is necessary to put a lot of work. In the conditions of private (house) agriculture there is no opportunity by means of weighing to establish the live weight of large animals. For establishment of approximate live weight it is possible to use various tables for which initial data are measurements of animals.
Instruction
1. For capture of measurements it is necessary to arrange correctly animal: to arrange so that legs stood vertically, the head at the level of back. Measurements carry out by means of centimetric tape. Measurements of animal carry out in two-three hours prior to day feeding.
2. For determination of live weight at pigs only two measurements are necessary. By means of sartorial meter to find the direct length of trunk and chest behind blades.
3. Having received the specified measurements, find the received sizes in the special table and on crossing of these data — the live weight of animal (for example the slanting length of the trunk measured by tape is equal to 138 cm, and chest behind blades is equal to 152 cm, then on crossing of these data we receive the weight of equal 278 kilograms).
4. It is necessary to pay especially attention to that fact that the mistake in the weight counted in such a way makes from four to eleven percent. This way allows only approximately, that is not absolutely precisely, to determine animal weight, in this case pigs.
5. As different breeds of pigs and the mixed their forms have unequal osalennost, density of meat and result on measurements can differ from the present to 15-17%.
6. Nevertheless the best way to learn the weight of pig or other animal is weighing on scales, it is preferable on electronic. There are special industrial scales for cattle which and can use.
