From: The cotton swab method: an accurate and less invasive way to assess fecal consistency in weaned pigs
Frequencies of consistency scores from the scale adjustment phase plotted against the fecal dry-matter percentage. Histograms of the scores of fecal consistency given by visual inspection of fecal samples (left panel) and the cotton swab method using the preliminary scale (right panel) in the scale adjustment phase. Reference lines (x = 23.6, 16.8, 10.4) display empirical thresholds between the four feces consistencies (see Table 1)
