  1. The data was collected in outbreaks of post-weaning diarrhea in nine Danish commercial indoor herds weaning without medicinal zinc. The herd level variance (random effect) was 0, and the random error term was 0.12 (0.09; 0.17). Fecal consistency (watery versus loose) was adjusted for in the model
