Table 4. Predicted changes in productivity of the French beef and dairy sectors in response to BRD incidence reduction in specific compartments.

In each cell: Mean value (in bold type); between parenthesis: successively, 95% confidence interval with constant market values and 95% confidence interval with 5% variation in market values.
