For WCR-P model, the average flock age showed the strongest impact on RF model. Animal source of feces was identified as the most important variable in fecal model and the soy content of the brood feed was the most important variable for soil model. Relative importance plots were generated to predict the most important variable in each RF model. The AUC values were 0.902, 0.894, and 0.864 for fecal, soil, and WCR-P models, respectively. The performance of models was evaluated by the area under curve (AUC) from the receiver operating characteristics curve.
