Abstract excerpt

Breeding feed-efficient animals has become a key focus of the dairy industry, yet most research on its genetic potential has focused on adult animals, resulting in a dearth of understanding for feed efficiency in youngstock. Metabolizable energy intake (MEI) of milk replacer and solid feed could provide information on early-life feed efficiency, as it encompasses both forms of the diet fed to young calves. The...
