Limitations of Meat To Bone Ratio
A ratio or percentage can conceal the scale of its numerator and denominator and becomes sensitive to measurement error when the denominator is small.
Alternative or Complementary measurements
Retain the original Lean meat mass kg and Bone mass kg values and their units alongside the result. Bone Percentage is useful when you instead need to compute the bone mass percentage of a dressed carcass weight. FCR Calculator provides another view by helping you compute the feed conversion ratio as feed consumed in kilograms divided by live weight gain in kilograms.
