Table 4.
Association of average daily weight gain (g/days) of 109 calves at 3 months of age, haptoglobin (HP) average area under the curve (AUC), halofuginone lactate (HL) treatmenta and age at weight measurement. Final model is presented.
| Variable (n = no. of calves) | Estimate | Confidence interval 95% | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| HP average AUC (mg/g/day) | − 0.16 | − 0.27; − 0.05 | 0.004 |
| Not HL treated (n = 18) | 0 | – | – |
| Incorrect HL treatment (n = 42) | − 55.53 | − 126.63; 15.58 | 0.125 |
| Correct HL treatment (n = 49) | − 107.22 | − 176.37; − 38.06 | 0.003 |
| Age at weight measurement (days) | 2.15 | − 0.75; 5.05 | 0.145 |
| Intercept | 708.69 | 390.65; 1026.72 | 0.000 |
| n (observations) = 109 |
