TABLE 3:
Intraclass coefficients, how strongly the puppies within a litter resemble each other
7 weeks | 12–13 months | 15–18 months | Mean | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Faecal IgA | 0.62 | 0.12 | −0.04 | 0.24 |
Serum IgA | 0.25 | 0.48 | 0.45 | 0.43 |
Serum IgE | −0.01 | 0 | 0.1 | 0.11 |
IgG against CDV | 0.61 | 0.27 | 0.20 | 0.41 |
The closer to 1, the stronger is the litter effect
CDV, canine distemper virus
