Assessment of Fatty Liver Syndrome and Its Predisposing Factors in a Dairy Herd from Venezuela

Table 5

Relative risks for the association between subclinical ketosis (dependent variable), breed, and prepartum levels of liver triacylglycerols (Liver TAG).

Independent variable	RR	SE	CI	P
Breed (0 versus 1)	0.73	0.13	0.52–1.03	<0.08
Liver TAG (H versus L)	1.17	0.11	0.97–1.40	<0.10

RR: relative risk; SE: standard error; CI: confident interval; 𝜒²: chi square; breed: 0 = Holstein; 1 = Holstein × Carora crossbred. Liver TAG: H: high, >3.0% TAG, and L: low, ≤3.0% TAG (fresh basis).
