Figure 1.

Panel (A) shows the predicted probabilities for postpartum disease in primiparous animals on the Y-axis and feed intake on the X-axis. The solid blue line represents a primiparous cow that spent 185 min feeding (i.e., the 25th percentile), and the red line represents a primiparous cow that spent 222 min of feeding (i.e., the 75th percentile). Panel (B) shows the predicted probabilities for postpartum disease in primiparous animals on the Y-axis and time spent feeding on the X-axis. The solid blue line represents a primiparous cow that consumed 26.6 kg of feed (i.e., the 25th percentile), and the red line represents a primiparous cow that consumed 30.3 kg (i.e., the 75th percentile). For both panels, the variable bins per meal was held constant at the mean value of 5.02.
