Taking data from the closing sheet and fundamental sums can reveal a lot of production and efficiency data.
Too often, farm animals are sent to the slaughterhouse, either softly or too aptly, almost a part (49%) of all premium farm animals processed in 2019 that meet market specifications.
The production of excessive fats in farm animals costs farmers much more than any monetary gain. In fact, an animal needs about 4 times more energy to put one kilogram of fat into one kilogram of lean muscle.

In this article, StraightLine Beef’s built-in beef veterinarian/trailer Rob Drysdale explains how and perceives key data on a cutting sheet.
Different processing plants use other payment systems. It is knowing your payment schedules and the consequences you will face if you provide animals outside the specifications.
Higher and lower ratings will vary from slaughterhouse to slaughterhouse, and even from race to breed, so it is imperative to be aware of this.
The ideal point for hitting is an R4L grade or higher, so an E or a U. Anything less than that, in terms of conformation (P and O) and fat elegance (1 or 2), or a 4H and more, will result in penalties
Usable meat yield decreases when passed from E-grade to P-grade. For example, a grade P housing may consist of 35% bone instead of 25% bone in an E-grade animal.
Looking only at the note will possibly not tell you much about the effectiveness of this animal and whether it has done more than others. Also take a look at the age and weight of the animal, at least.
In the example of the low death sheet (column six titled “grade”), the first 3 animals had the same specification. However, its weight ranged from 298 to 311.50 kg. The maximum effective animal number 3, since it is 4 months younger than the animal, weighed only 1 kg less and had the same specification.
The most productive score on the leaf is the new animal, as it received the most productive weight and a good enough score in the shortest time. The worst animal number 4, as it is one of the oldest animals and obviously fed to check and give it enough weight.
The gain of the casing according to the day of life will tell you if this animal has grown over the course of its life.
It is especially useful for beef buyers looking for healthy and fast-finished farm animals, or for in-store finalists who were not informed about expansion rates before purchasing stock. This can help you buy your most productive animals in the future.
The effectiveness of food conversion decreases as an animal ages, so a 10-month animal weighing three hundred kg will take less food and time to have the same weight at 15 months.
The casing gain is calculated with the formula: w8 of kg of casing (cold) / number of days of life (you can calculate it in columns five and 8 of the kill sheet below). The purpose is to produce a casing gain of more than 0.5 kg, which equates to at least 1 kg of live w8 gain consistent with the day.
The cold weight (see column five of kill sheet, below) is what a farmer is paid on and, therefore, should be used in any calculations such as the killing-out percentage.
The percentage of sacrifice (KO%) determines the weight of the live animal’s sellable channel. It is expressed by weight of the carcass in relation to the weight of the live animal without delay before slaughter. The target deserves to be around 50% for dairy beef and more than 60% for lactating beef. Farmers who do not sign weights cannot calculate KO%.
KO% may be affected by intestinal filling, as farm-to-grazing animals have a decrease in KO% as they will have a larger intestinal filling than an animal fed on an energy-rich diet. Bulls will also have a KO% higher than heifers. Remember that when you compare the numbers.
It is to know what specifications your slaughterhouse is being dressed for, as it varies by slaughterhouse. The dressing affects the amount / if the fats are removed.
The specification of dressing will be the weight without blood and therefore the % KO. The other 3 specifications used are: Standard Specification, EC Reference Specification, British Specification (see “Beef Casing Specifications” for a comparison of specifications).
The corpses are divided in two to facilitate handling and offal.
If the convictions come to light, this can tell you what aspect of the casing looks and what component of the casing might have been condemned.
For example, if an abscess is found, it will be highlighted on a separate sheet, and when comparing the lateral weights, you can calculate approximately the amount of doomed corpse.
This will tell you if all grease parts have been removed for specification.
This will highlight the sex of the animal and can be titled sex (see the moment column of the killing leaf above). For example, Z – young bull, A – bull, C – steer and E – heifer.
In slaughterhouses, there is an independent inspector hired through the Meat and Livestock Commission to classify the body. Each inspector has an individual identifier, and in the example, the inspector number is 63.
The degree of the housing may vary depending on the inspector due to individual subjectivity.
Video symbol research (VIA) is used through a few slaughterhouses in the UK and subjectivity. However, it can be more difficult to succeed at the “ideal point” with VIA because the classification grid is larger and more complex.
The ideal point is the weight, grade and fat category that generates maximum cash for your puppy and vary from processor to processor according to your needs.
This is the age of the animal in the sacrifice and how long it has been on the farm. If you take animals directly, you can make comparisons between animals.
The younger the animal, the more effective it is to convert food. Older animals want more food consistent with kg of gain.
In the future, with the carbon footprint increasingly at the center of concerns, there is nothing to keep it consistent with spreadsheet markets to calculate the carbon footprint consistent with kg of beef.
Any fitness anomalies will be noted on a separate notes page. This will detail the ear logo number and problem.
Problems could possibly come with abscess at the injection site, liver duel (active and ancient) and lung damage. Although you’re not penalized for that, highlight the spaces where you might have lost production. If there are symptoms of active liver trematodes, immediate action may be taken to other animals in the herd or herd herd grazing in those spaces.
