Renco Lean-Meater
The Lean-Meater Series 12 is designed to measure the total thickness of the skin and up to three layers of back fat.
The primary use is the measurement of back fat in swine for the determination of sow condition, gilt selection, quality and other genetic aspects. Other uses include fat measurement in cattle, sheep and other land animals, as well as blubber measurement in aquatic animals. (The Lean-Meater is not intended for measurement of muscle tissue.)
The Lean-Meater can be thought of as an electronic ruler. Ultrasonic pulses sent into the animal are reflected back to the instrument from tissues of interest. The times until these echoes are received are translated into distances in mm. Measurements are non-invasive—no piercing of the skin with the consequent danger of infection. The animals are neither hurt nor irritated.
