Lesion healing scores
There was a highly significant Treatment × Day interaction (P =
3.4×10–7), indicating differing lesion healing score
time courses across the three treatment groups. Model-based lesion score
probabilities are displayed (Figure 2). While control cattle maintained
the presence of erosions/ulcers (a score of 1), recoveries were observed
in the two treatment groups. From Day 9 onwards, cattle treated with TS
had significantly higher lesion healing scores than those on MO (Day 9:P = 0.025; Day 12: P = 0.016; Day 15: P = 0.0008).
None of the other terms had a significant association with lesion
healing score: Age: P = 0.464; Breed: P = 0.311; Sex:P = 0.376.
