The aim of this research was to investigate the possibilities to use some linear and weight carcass measurements to develop methods for assessment of meat productivity in skinned pigs. The information about the composition of the left half carcasses of a total of 70 pigs (♀Youna x ♂Pietrain) was used in this study. The animals were reared in the experimental farm of the Institute of Animal Science-Kostinbrod, Bulgaria, and slaughtered in a certified abattoir at the average live weigh of 105 kg /± 2.5%/. The carcasses were further skinned and their heads and feet were removed. After measurement and carcass analysis it was found that the inclusion of the backfat thickness and the depth of m. Longssimus dorsi (m. LD) measured at the cutting line in order to predict the lean meat percentage in the carcass ensures higher accuracy in comparison to the measurement done 7 cm laterally at the last rib and between the 3d and 4th rib.
