Birth refers to 0 d of age; weaning refers to 21 d of age (DS1 and DS3) or 28 d of age (DS2); nursery refers to around 64 d of age; growing refers to around 83 d of age; and finishing refers to 125 d of age (116 d for DS1).

*No data available for birth.

ρ = rho or Spearman correlation coefficient.
