Invited review: Improving feed efficiency of beef cattle - the current state of the art and future challenges.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Sept 2018

Kenny D A, Fitzsimons C, Waters S M, McGee M

Abstract excerpt

Improvements in feed efficiency of beef cattle have the potential to increase producer profitability and simultaneously lower the environmental footprint of beef production. Although there are many different approaches to measuring feed efficiency, residual feed intake (RFI) has increasingly become the measure of choice. Defined as the difference between an animal's actual and predicted feed intake (based on...
