Litter sizes of LP, V16 and V36 females housed under different challenging conditions. Cumulative number of kits born in total and number of live born kits in the second and third parturition are in panels A and B, respectively. Cumulative number of kits weaned during the first two lactations is also shown C. At birth, litters were standardized at 9 kits in the first lactation and at 10 kits in the second lactation (true value: 18.9 ± 0.7 kits per female; mean ± s.d.) with dead kits not replaced. Blue: LP, orange: V16 and red: V36; heat (HC), normal (NC) and nutritional (NF) challenging conditions; vertical lines represent the standard error of means.
