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 “Gestation length and its associations with calf birth weight, calf perinatal mortality and dystocia in dairy cattle.” The document includes:Supplementary Table 1: 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 modelSupplementary Table 2: 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 weightSupplementary Table 3:Predicted marginal means (± standard errors) for birth weight (in kg) for gestation, parity, calf gender and twin status of the calfSupplementary Table 4: 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.
