Fig. 2

The probabilities and frequencies of cotton swab scores plotted against the fecal dry-matter percentage. The predicted probability of a pig being given a certain consistency score using the cotton swab method and histograms displaying the frequency of scores 1–4, both as a function of the dry-matter percentage in a fecal sample collected from the pigs (n = 212). Reference lines (x = 23.6, 16.8, 10.4) display empirical thresholds between the four feces consistencies (see Table 1)
