Abstract excerpt
The costs of production for high density protein and the impacts food production have on the environment are becoming increasingly important issues in animal agriculture. The objective of the present study was to investigate the use of novel thermal profiles including a Thermal Efficiency Index (TEI) on the ability to identify efficient animals in a fraction of the time and at a significantly lower cost of...
