| Items 1 | Groups | SEM | p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LFS (n = 12) | HFS (n = 12) | |||
| Fecal LPS (EU/g of wet feces) | 13,746.20 | 16,185.49 | 1049.20 | 0.260 |
| Rumen fluid LPS (EU/mL) | 14,255.22 | 12,208.48 | 1645.38 | 0.550 |
| Blood LPS (EU/mL) | 1.63 | 1.41 | 0.16 | 0.519 |
| Blood LBP (mg/L) | 2.01 | 2.51 | 0.16 | 0.117 |
1 LFS: low fecal score; HFS: high fecal score; LPS: lipopolysaccharides; LBP: LPS binding protein; SEM: standard error of the mean.
