Abstract
In an attempt to develop a method of estimating the lean meat content of live meat‐type ducklings, measurements were made on 378 birds of the lengths of the wing‐bones and the gaps between them, using X‐ray photographs, and were correlated with measurements of the weight of the wing muscles, obtained at dissection. Associations with live and eviscerated weight were also examined. Findings are:Keywords
