Bos indicus cattle acquired very particular traits to thrive in distinct environments based on
the evolutionary adaptation process they have undergone, becoming particularly relevant for …

The objective of this study was to identify genomic regions and metabolic pathways
associated with dry matter intake, average daily gain, feed efficiency and residual feed …

Animal feeding is the most important economic component of beef production systems.
Selection for feed efficiency has not been effective mainly due to difficult and high costs to …

This study evaluated phenotypic (rph) and genetic correlations (rg) between 8 feed
efficiency traits and other traits of economic interest including weight at selection (WS), loin …

This study aims identifying candidate genes and pathways associated with feed efficiency
(FE) in pigs. Liver and duodenum transcriptomes of 37 gilts showing high and low residual …

This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters, including genomic data, for feeding
behavior, feed efficiency, and growth traits in Nellore cattle. The following feeding behavior …

Increasing feed efficiency in beef cattle is critical for meeting the growing global demand for
beef while managing rising feed costs and environmental impacts. Challenges in recording …

This study was conducted to evaluate associations of performance traits, feed efficiency, and
blood variables with residual feed intake (RFI) in growing Nellore cattle. A total of 118 …

The objective of this study was to evaluate residual feed intake (RFI), residual intake and
body weight gain (RIG) and their relationship with other traits of efficiency, performance, and …

Feed intake and average daily gain (ADG) in Nellore cattle were determined to calculate
residual feed intake in two performance tests: first during the growth phase (RFIgrowth) and …
