Table 2. Mean Linear Mixed Model (LMM) estimates of multi-model inference parameters of fecal microbiota composition.

Parameter Mean estimate (95% confidence interval) Importance
Intercept 80.13 (58.98–101.29) -
Diet (UF) 12.19 (-18.08–42.46) 0.53
Calving date -1.41 (-5.78–2.96) 0.45
Coccidia 0.08 (-5.72–5.87) 0.25

Parameters include intrinsic (i.e. calving date, presence of Coccidia) and extrinsic (i.e. diet and herd) factors. UF: Unifeed diet or total mixed ration with silage.
