Abstract excerpt
Identifying and breeding cattle with superior feed efficiency can lower feed costs, enhance profitability, reduce environmental impact, and promote long-term sustainability of beef production. Predicting residual feed intake (RFI) early in growing cattle's life represents an interesting opportunity for both genetic selection and precision feeding. Previous studies have proposed candidate RFI plasma biomarkers,...
