Cattle selected for lower residual feed intake have reduced daily methane production.

Journal of animal science - 1 Jun 2007

Hegarty R S, Goopy J P, Herd R M, McCorkell B

Abstract excerpt

Seventy-six Angus steers chosen from breeding lines divergently selected for residual feed intake (RFI) were studied to quantify the relationship between RFI and the daily rate of methane production (MPR). A 70-d feeding test using a barley-based ration was conducted in which the voluntary DMI, feeding characteristics, and BW of steers were monitored. The estimated breeding value (EBV) for RFI (RFI(EBV)) for each...
