Predictor | p-Value | Odds Ratio 95% Lower Limit | Odds Ratio 95% Upper Limit |
---|---|---|---|
Standardized Weight | ≤0.001 | 1.96 | 6.11 |
Standardized Milk GM-CSF | 0.02 | 0.05 | 0.72 |
Standardized Sera GM-CSF | 0.27 | 0.68 | 4.01 |
Milk NABs | ≤0.001 | 3.71 | 65.89 |
Sera NABs | 0.38 | 0.11 | 2.18 |
Variables with p ≤ 0.05 are significant predictors of piglet survivability. Cytokine levels were standardized such that a value of one indicates a GM-CSF level one standard deviation above average. Milk NAB titers greater than or equal to 40 and sera NAB titers were greater than or equal to a titer of 20 were used as the cut-off values.
