Perceptions of Factors Affecting Milk Quality and Safety among Large- and Small-Scale Dairy Farmers in Zimbabwe

Table 6

Odds ratios estimates and lower (LCI) and upper confidence interval (UCI) of farmers considering milk safety to be important.

Predictor	Odds	LCI	UCI	Significance
Production system (large- versus small-scale)	2.19	1.17	4.08
Gender (male versus female)	1.29	0.71	2.37	NS
Age (young versus old)	0.99	0.48	2.07	NS
Household size (small versus large)	1.12	0.61	2.05	NS
Education (uneducated versus educated)	13.61	6.79	28.80

LCI: lowest confidence interval, UCI: upper confidence interval, Sig.: significance, NS: not significant (), ; higher odds ratio estimates indicate greater difference in preference levels of predictors.
