Problem Statement

The live weight of an animal before slaughter and the dressed carcass weight of that animal after
slaughter usually differ. As a result the dressing percentages of livestock are therefore always less
than 100 percent. Based on studies in broiler production, the dressing percentage of broiler chickens
range from 75 percent - 80 percent. However, at the Grenada Boys’ Secondary school the dressing
percentage of the broilers reared at the school’s farm is unknown.
