Table 2. Kinetic parameters of BM evolution from 28 (weaning) to 92 days of age.

	Additional body mass gain BMmax (g)	Rate constant of growing k (days-1)	Time to 50% of BMmax t1/2 (days)
CTRL	327	0.0203	34

1st phase	*	0.1545	**
2nd phase	110	0.0574	12
RBD	48	0.0346	20
RBD+Los	19	0.1079	6

* The theoretical BM_max of this phase does not have biological/nutritional meaning because BM_max → ∞ when t → ∞.

** The same reasoning applies for the calculated t_1/2 = 4 days in the 1^st phase.
