Mediation analysis to study the effect of the URT bacterial colonization on the development of antibody responses to M. haemolytica and P. multocida. A Mediation analysis within suckling calves. B Mediation analysis within Weaned calves. C Mediation analysis within Weaned + Transportation calves. Proportion mediated represents the proportion of the effect of the independent variable (time) on the dependent variable (antibody response) that goes through the mediator (bacterial group). Mediation effect represents the p value of proportion mediated. Direct effect represents the P value of the effect of the independent variable (time) on the dependent variable (antibody response)
