Ruminal variables as group means at the times of respiration chamber measurements in cows with high (■; n = 10) and low (□; n = 10) plasma NEFA concentrations in week 5 p.p. and regression between plasma and ruminal acetate concentrations measured in week 5 p.p.
(a) Time P = 0.045, group P = 0.045, time × group P = 0.44, ANOVA; † indicates P = 0.09; Tukey-Test. (b) Time P = 0.71, group P = 0.55, time × group P = 0.61, ANOVA. (c) Time P = 0.61, group P = 0.25, time × group P = 0.81, ANOVA. (d) Time P = 0.17, group P = 0.11, time × group P = 0.48, ANOVA. (e) Time P = 0.16, group P = 0.12, time × group P = 0.57, ANOVA. (f) Slope P = 0.57. Data in bar charts are shown as LSM ± SE.
