The aim of this paper was to evaluate the main consequences of the change of the EU regulation on pig carcass classification, in particular the change of the reference lean meat percentage (LMP). A sample of 29 pigs was selected in two abattoirs and stratified according to sex (50% castrated males and 50% females). The left half carcasses as well as the four main cuts were scanned by computed tomography (CT). All cuts were then dissected. CT images were thresholded in order to determine lean meat. The future reference (LMP in the carcass) will be 2.8% lower than the present one (LMP in the four main cuts), i.e. about 1.7 percentage points. The French CT procedure could be fitted via a multiplicative factor of 0.965. This procedure is robust to the main factors – sex, genotype, fatness – influencing the classification. This would allow to use this scaling factor without new dissections for the future trials for approval of classification methods in France. It could be used too in other countries interested in this CT procedure.
