  1. Accuracy, sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) calculated for OD cut points for detecting FTPI with STIGA with cut-offs of 10 mg/mL IgG for dairy calf sera and 24 mg/mL for beef calf sera determined by RID; for dairy calf sera (n = 83) and beef calf sera (n = 84)
