Methods and consequences of including feed intake and efficiency in genetic selection for multiple-trait merit.

Journal of animal science - 4 May 2018

Barwick Stephen A, Henzell Anthony L, Walmsley Brad J, Johnston David J, Banks Robert G

Abstract excerpt

Methods are presented for including feed intake and efficiency in genetic selection for multiple-trait merit when commercial production is from any combination of pasture or concentrates. Consequences for the production system and for individual animals are illustrated with a beef cattle example. Residual feed intake at pasture (RFI-p), residual feed intake in the feedlot (RFI-f), and cow condition score are...
