LPS concentration in rumen and plasma of dairy cows fed low concentrate (LC) and high concentrate (HC)
LPS concentration (EU/mL) | Treatmenta | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
LC | HC | SEMb | p-Value | |
Rumen LPS | 47170 | 79040 | 7966.25 | <0.01 |
Jugular vein Plasma LPS | 470 | 860 | 81.26 | <0.001 |
a HC high concentrate diet, LC low concentrate diet, EU endotoxin unit
b SEM Standard error of the mean between the two groups
The LPS data were compared using Student’s t-test between HC and LC groups
P ≤ 0.05 was considered significant
