Table 1. Separate analysis of variance for effect of maternal traits on milk composition in phase 2B and phase 3 of lactation in the Tammar wallaby.

		Milk components
		Protein		Carbohydrates		Lipids
Phase of Lactation	Maternal factors	F	P-value	F	P-value	F	P-value
2B	Body weight	3.063	0.118	0.604	0.459	0.064	0.806
	Body size	2.936	0.125	0.329	0.582	0.000	0.995
	Body mass index	3.036	0.120	0.641	0.446	0.077	0.788
	Change in body weight	0.506	0.497	1.012	0.344	0.887	0.374
3	Body weight	1.466	0.293	0.568	0.493	0.003	0.957
	Body size	1.382	0.305	0.544	0.502	0.004	0.952
	Body mass index	1.476	0.291	0.530	0.507	0.002	0.962
	Change in body weight	0.427	0.549	9.241	0.038*	0.139	0.728

Maternal factors had no influence on milk components during early lactation (phase 2B), while change in maternal weight during late lactation influenced milk carbohydrates.
