Dressing percentage is the ratio of carcass weight to live weight, expressed as a percentage. Higher dressing % means more usable meat per unit live weight.
- Broiler → 70% (second highest among listed).
- Pork (Pig) → 72% (highest dressing % among all livestock — due to thin skin and less offal).
- Beef (Cattle) → 55%.
- Mutton (Sheep) → 50%.
- Chevon (Goat) → 49% (lowest dressing %).
- Carabeef (Buffalo) → 57%.
Descending Order of Dressing %
Pork (72%) > Broiler (70%) > Carabeef (57%) > Beef (55%) > Mutton (50%) > Chevon (49%).
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- Option B swaps Broiler (70%) with Pork (72%).
- Option C swaps Beef (55%) with Mutton (50%).
- Option D swaps Mutton (50%) with Chevon (49%).
