Abstract excerpt

Improving feed efficiency in cattle is increasingly important for both environmental and economic reasons. Although feed efficiency traits are under considerable genetic control, with an average moderate heritability estimate of 0.33, genetic evaluations are limited by the difficulties in measuring feed intake and the lack of records from most commercial herds. Most genetic evaluations rely on small numbers of...
