| Effect | Level | LSMeans (SE) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sampling date | Birth | 80.50b (0.24) | <0.0001 |
| 1 month | 81.05bc (0.25) | ||
| 2 months | 79.76a (0.25) | ||
| 3 months | 81.01bc (0.25) | ||
| 4 months | 81.40c (0.25) | ||
| Breed | Romane | 81.13a (0.17) | 0.002 |
| Blackbelly | 80.24b (0.18) | ||
| Charollais | 80.87ab (0.26) | ||

Statistical model 1 was used. LSMeans: Least square means, SE: standard error. For each effect, values with different superscripts (a, b, c) were found to differ significantly (p < 0.05).
