English term or phrase: DWT
Some more from the slaughterhouse working procedures. This time it's "DWT" . CONTEXT:

"DWT is the most important factor during this step, and must be duly noted in the WPB."

In the glossary I've been given, WPB stands for Work Procedure Book, but it says nothing of DWT. TIA.

Explanation:
Creo que es una de dos cosas: o bién "dead weight" (peso muerto) o bien "dressed weight" (peso de carne preparada, peso carneado). Quizás el contexto pueda acabar de aclararlo.
