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.
