Figure 4.

Feeding pattern (correlation coefficient of time spent at the feed trough overtime during the first 6 d) for sheep in the feedlot. (a) Feeding pattern for sheep that died (trauma n = 5, tetany n = 9, testing positive for salmonella, pneumonia n = 7, other n = 14). Note that one sheep in the “other” category did not approach the feeder for 6 d, and therefore, a correlation coefficient for that animal could not be calculated. (b) Histogram showing the distribution of correlation coefficients for sheep alive at exit from the feedlot.
