Figure 2.
Dry matter intake of newly weaned heifers injected repeatedly with saline (CTL−), increasing doses of LPS on days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 (CTL+), or CTL+ plus fed the diet supplemented with a low (OBE-L; 0.04% of diet DM) or a high (OBE-H; 0.16% of diet DM) dose of an olive oil bioactive extract (OBE). (a) Dry matter intake pre-challenge, from day −14 until day −1, and during the 12-d LPS challenge, from day 0 until day 12. (b) Dry matter intake pre-challenge, from day −14 until day −1. Effect of treatment (P = 0.43). (c) Dry matter intake during the 12-d LPS challenge, from day 0 until day 12. Effect of treatment × time (P = 0.05). Error bars denote SEM.
