Housing Type: Levels ‘Free roam (full or partly)’ (reference level) and ‘Cage or run’; Space Availability: Levels ‘Above requirements’ (reference level) and ‘Below requirements’; Resource Provision: Levels ‘Continuous gnawing opportunity’ (reference level) and ‘No continuous gnawing opportunity’; Diet: Levels: ‘Ad libitum hay/grass’ (reference level) and ‘Not ad libitum hay/grass’; Veterinary Access: Levels ‘Regular visits’ (reference level) and ‘Not regular visits’.
Significant P-values are highlighted in bold (< 0.05).
The categories ‘2,000-4,999’, ‘5,000-9,999’ and ‘≥ 100,00’ were merged into ‘≥ 2,000’ owing to few data points per level.
More than 20% difference in the OR of the variable between the uni- and multivariable analyses.
