Open the double plastic bag and, without removing the thawed carcass or allowing any fluid to escape, remove and retain any device securing the legs and extract any giblet contained in the carcass.

Drain excess liquid from the giblet pack into the double plastic bag, remove the giblets and suspend them from a wing of the bird by means of a small wire hook. Retain the empty giblet package.

Ensure that all parts of the carcass can drain freely and securely reclose the neck of the double plastic bag.

Weigh the combined empty giblet package and any leg securing device to the nearest gram - called 'C' in the formula.

Drain for a further period of two to four hours. At the end of the period remove the carcass after shaking it to remove any fluid that may be trapped within the bird.

Weigh the double plastic bag and the contents to the nearest gram - called 'D' in the formula.

Where there is no edible oil layer in the double plastic bag:

Use this formula to calculate the proportion of fluid:

Proportion of fluid = D - A
------- x 1000
B - A - C
expressed as g/kg

Where there is an edible oil layer in the double plastic bag -

Carefully pour the contents of the double plastic bag into a centrifuge tube of suitable volume (approximately 250mL).

Weigh the centrifuge tube and its contents to the nearest gram - called 'E' in the formula.

After centrifugation at 1000g for 5-10 minutes, remove the edible oil layer with the aid of a pasteur pipette.

Reweigh the centrifuge tube and its contents to the nearest gram - called 'F' in the formula.

Use this formula to calculate the proportion of fluid -

Proportion of fluid = D - A - (E - F)
------------ x 1000
B - A - C
expressed as g/kg
