Variation in residual feed intake in Holstein-Friesian dairy heifers in southern Australia.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

Feed conversion efficiency of dairy cattle is an important component of the profitability of dairying, given that the cost of feed accounts for much of total farm expenses. Residual feed intake (RFI) is a useful measure of feed conversion efficiency, as it can be used to compare individuals with the same or differing levels of production during the period of measurement. If genetic variation exists in RFI among...
