The predicted rectal temperature (°C) of diarrheic pigs (n = 85) with different assumed etiologies

Assumed etiology	Mean	95% CI
No/low infection	39.46	39.35; 39.57
High enterotoxigenic E. coli	39.46	39.30; 39.61
High rotavirus A	39.48	39.34; 39.62
Salmonella enterica	38.85	38.56; 39.14

The data was collected in outbreaks of post-weaning diarrhea in nine Danish commercial indoor herds weaning without medicinal zinc. The herd level variance (random effect) was 0, and the random error term was 0.12 (0.09; 0.17). Fecal consistency (watery versus loose) was adjusted for in the model
