  1. Bootstrap confidence intervals (95%) in parentheses, and p-values from a threshold linear model (TLM), a specific slaughterhouse threshold linear model (SHTLM), a specific sex per slaughterhouse threshold linear model (SEXTLM), a threshold log linear Weibull model (TlogLWM), and a grouped data model (GDM)
  2. Percentage outside the bootstrap interval if * (P < 0.05); ** (P < 0.01); *** (P < 0.001)
