Random effect of litter4

29%

   
  1. 1The OR presented is the population average OR, and relates to an average piglet in any litter of the study.
  2. 2Herds with different letters as superscript are significantly different (α < 0.05) when compared pairwise.
  3. 3Parity was kept in the model due to its biological significance.
  4. 4The random effect of litter is displayed as the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC).
