Assessing peripheral blood cell profile of Yorkshire pigs divergently selected for residual feed intake.

Journal of animal science - 1 Mar 2015

Abstract excerpt

The cost of feed is a serious issue in the pork industry, contributing about 65 to 75% of the total production cost. To prevent economic losses and decreased productivity of the herd, it is important to select for animals that eat less for the same lean gain, or more efficient animals. Residual feed intake (RFI) is the difference between observed feed intake and expected feed intake based on estimated maintenance...
