CI, confidence interval.

b

Ninety-five percent confidence interval of prevalence when sampling was assumed to be randomized (exact binomial estimates).

c

Ninety-five percent confidence interval of prevalence when the fact that 21 to 26 pigs were sampled from each farm was considered (Fleiss quadratic 95% confidence interval).

d

Production capacity of 1,000 fattening pigs or more per year.

e

Production capacity of fewer than 1,000 fattening pigs per year.
