2. Figure 1
Least squares means and standard errors for (a) total gram-negative bacteria, (b) environmental streptococci, and (c) coliform bacteria isolated from untreated sawdust (CON; white bars) or sawdust treated with a clay-based acidic bedding conditioner (ABC; black bars). Measurements were taken at d 0, 1, 2, 7, 14, and 21 over 2 periods. *P<0.05.

3. Figure 2
Least squares means and standard errors for the pH of untreated sawdust (CON; white bars) or sawdust treated with a clay-based acidic bedding conditioner (ABC; black bars). Measurements were taken at d 0, 1, 2, 7, 14, and 21 during (a) period 1 and (b) period 2. *P<0.05.

4. Figure 3
Least squares means and standard errors for the bedding cleanliness of untreated sawdust (CON; white bars) or sawdust treated with a clay-based acidic bedding conditioner (ABC; black bars). Measurements were taken 3 times daily during (a) period 1 and (b) period 2. Cleanliness scores were on a 0 to 5 scale, where 0 = clean, 5 = extremely soiled.

Least squares means and standard errors for streptococci isolated from teat-end swabs of 16 lactating Holstein cows bedded on untreated sawdust (CON; white bars) or sawdust treated with a clay-based acidic bedding conditioner (ABC; black bars). Measurements were taken at d 0, 1, 2, 7, 14, and 21 during (a) period 1 and (b) period 2. *P<0.05.
