Table 3.
Distribution of early lactation cows stratified by production type (beef and dairy) to oligosaccharide (OS) clusters1
| OS cluster | Beef | Dairy | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8 | 22 | 30 |
| 2 | 24 | 11 | 35 |
| Total | 32 | 33 | 65 |
Clusters were formed using the first 8 principal components (which explained 80% of the total OS variability and eigenvalues for components >1).
