Supplementary Material for "Gestation length and its associations with calf birth weight, calf perinatal mortality and dystocia in dairy cattle"

This file contains supplementary tables associated with the manuscript titled <i>“Gestation length and its associations with calf birth weight, calf perinatal mortality and dystocia in dairy cattle.”</i> The document includes:<b>Supplementary Table 1</b>: Predicted marginal means (± standard errors) from the multiple regression analyses relating gestation length to dam and calf heterosis classes with or without adjustment for gestation length estimated breeding value (EBV) in the model<b>Supplementary Table 2</b>: Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals in parenthesis) for the association between different categories of phenotypic gestation length and perinatal mortality, calving assistance and dystocia relative to the reference of 280 to 282 d with adjustment for gestation estimated breeding value (EBV) and birth weight<b>Supplementary Table 3</b>:Predicted marginal means (± standard errors) for birth weight (in kg) for gestation, parity, calf gender and twin status of the calf<b>Supplementary Table 4</b>: Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals in parenthesis) for the association between different categories of gestation estimated breeding value (EBV) and perinatal mortality, calving assistance and dystocia relative to -3.51 to -2.20These tables provide additional detail supporting the results and analyses reported in the main article.
