Changes occuring in marrow fat reserves of animals have been used as an indicator of their physical condition (Cheatum, 1949; Riney, 1955).
Cheatum correlated his visual estimate with a chemical analysis and Riney used four different condition classes on red deer (Cervus elaphus) for both colour and texture.
