From: Allometric scaling of the elevation of maternal energy intake during lactation
Examples of patterns of cumulative MEImat elevation fitted using Eq. (1) (left panels) and its derivate, i.e., the intake above the initial rate or extra intake (right panels). Points are observed values, lines are model fits for: a, b European dairy cattle (Bos taurus taurus), c, d domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus), e, f hispid cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus). Values of the time to peak are reported both according to the modelling procedure (red dashed line) and as measured, i.e., when the peak rate of MEImat is observed (details in Material and Methods)
