Estimation of residual energy intake for lactating cows using an animal model.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Aug 1992

Ngwerume F, Mao I L

Abstract excerpt

Residual energy intake is defined as the remaining energy from total net energy intake after accounting for all energy uses. Residual energy intake is proposed as a measure of feed efficiency because animal efficiency increases as the proportion of accountable energy intake increases or the residual energy intake decreases. Residual energy intake was estimated for each of 247 Holstein cows, daughters of 127 sires...
