Example of individual growth curve fitting to estimate protein weight at maturity based data observed out of infection. A data on body weight (\(BW\)) and B back fat thickness (\(BFT\)) were used. Points and lines represent observed data and model predictions, respectively. Note the drop in body weight at shearing that was used to estimate wool growth. Data observed during the infection period (grey area) were not used for model fitting in this step. See S2 Fig for all 42 individuals (Animal n°20000188131 represented here)
