German term or phrase: abgemuscht (ausgenommen)
From an auction catalogue. This is an inscription on the 'portrait' of a pig. I am having problems with 'abgemuscht (ausgenommen)'. The dialect, given the birth town of the painter, may be from Alsace Lorraine. I would be grateful for any help.

“Solches HauptSchwein 6 Schuh lang 3 Sch. 7 zoll... hoch ist in der sogenannten Koberstatt arheilgerForsts den 4n Decemb 1765 lebentig gefangen und von den He. Landgrafen zu Darmstatt Hochfürstlich Durchl. mit Schwärmern erlegt worden. Hat ** abgemuscht (ausgenommen) ** 530 tb? (Pfund?) der Kopf allein 85 tbß gewogen”.

gutted
Explanation:
I'm not sure about "abgemuscht," but ausgenommen means gutted. The way it's written it would seem that abgemuscht and ausgenommen are supposed to be synonyms.
