Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0070295A1] The present invention relates to a measuring instrument for the assessment of animals' readiness for slaughter consisting of two mutually movable parts, wherein a first part (4, 5, 12, 13) comprises a measuring arm (4) and two measuring scales (12, 13), a second part (2) comprises two measuring arms (7, 8) and an indicator (11), and the longitudinal shaft (5) of the first part serves as a bearing for both the rotary (1) and the axial (3, 6) motion of the second part (2), one measuring arm (7) of the second part (2) being arranged to show conjointly with the first part (4, 5) by means of the indicator (11) a breadth measurement (9) on a first measuring scale (12) and the second measuring arm (8) of the second part (2), after rotation about said longitudinal shaft (5), being arranged to show conjointly with the first part (4, 5) by means of the indicator (11) a length measurement (10) on a second measuring scale (13), such that it can be determined by a direct comparison between said breadth and length measurements whether the animal is ready for slaughter.
