Lesion size
There was a highly significant Treatment × Day interaction (P< 2×10–16) for lesion size (Figure 4),
indicating different rates of healing across the three groups.
Initially, there were no significant differences in mean wound sizes
amongst the three groups (all P > 0.25). While mean
wound size increases for Control cattle, they reduced for the two
treatment groups, with those in the TS treatment reducing at a faster
rate (differences were significant from Day 9, all P <
0.01). There was no significant effect of Age (P = 0.454), Breed
(P = 0.225), nor Sex (P = 0.374) on lesion size.
