Abstract excerpt

Breeding companies are highly interested in including feed efficiency into their breeding programmes because of the economic and environmental benefits this would bring. We developed divergent lines on residual feed intake (RFI) in the Romane breed in order to estimate the consequences of RFI selection on other traits. In this experiment, RFI was phenotyped in growing lambs under an ad libitum low-energy...
