Use Marbling Score Lookup when you need to classify a marbling score from the intramuscular fat percentage between one and thirteen percent. Enter Intramuscular fat percent using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.

Intramuscular fat percent

A finite measured or assumed value from 1 through 13.

The published tool contract uses this rule: Classify a marbling score from the intramuscular fat percentage between one and thirteen percent.

Marbling category

The calculated marbling category.

The category is produced by fixed software thresholds. Those cutoffs may differ from a laboratory, field protocol, population, jurisdiction, or current professional guideline. Intramuscular fat percent must remain between 1 and 13.

Retain the original Intramuscular fat percent values and their units alongside the result. Dairy BCS Ratio Mapping is useful when you instead need to map a precomputed body-condition ratio onto a one-to-five score with round(ratio times five), clamped to the scale. This is a heuristic mapping, not a substitute for visual and palpation scoring. Mastitis Risk Category provides another view by helping you classify mastitis risk from the somatic cell count in cells per millilitre.

• Dairy BCS Ratio Mapping

  Map a precomputed body-condition ratio onto a one-to-five score with round(ratio times five), clamped to the scale. This is a heuristic mapping, not a substitute for visual and palpation scoring.

• Mastitis Risk Category

  Classify mastitis risk from the somatic cell count in cells per millilitre.

• SCC Linear Score

  Convert a dairy milk somatic cell count to the standard linear score LS = log2(SCC / 100,000) + 3.
