Abstract excerpt
Feeding behavior is a fundamental biological process closely linked to development, growth, metabolism, and immune regulation in animals. In livestock production, it serves as both an indicator of health status and a selection criterion for breeding programs aimed at improving feed efficiency and adaptive behavior. However, the genetic basis and regulatory mechanisms governing these traits remain poorly...
