Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There are both economic and environmental motivations to improve feed efficiency. However, direct genetic improvement of feed efficiency ratio (FER; weight gain/feed intake) is difficult. Alternatively, improved FER might be achieved indirectly by selection for increased growth rate and reduced body fat. The aims of this study were (i) to perform a phenotypic analysis of energy partitioning traits...
