| Pathology results | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intact | Broken | Acute | Chronic/Healed | Total, n | ||
| Slaughterhouse scoring | Intact | 95% (19) | 0% (0) | 5% (1) | 0 (0) | 20 |
| Broken | 0% (0) | 100% (9) | 0% (0) | 0% (0) | 9 | |

The cells indicate within-row-percentages (and number of tails), namely number of slaughterhouse scorings within each class of the pathology scoring.
