Lowering ruminant methane emissions through improved feed conversion efficiency
2011-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Improvements in feed conversion efficiency (FCE) can be applied to individual animals as well as to production from land, as in a farm system. Our focus relates mainly to food production from individual animals within any animal population where there is divergence in the efficiency that individuals use ingested feed for maintenance and production; primarily due to differences in digestion and metabolism.
