Animal's feed efficiency in growing cattle (ie the animal ability to reach a market or adult BW
with the least amount of feed intake), is a key factor in the beef cattle industry. Feeding …

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 …

Recently, automatic feeders have become popular for collecting daily feed intake data in the
pig industry, making it possible to evaluate genetic effects on feed efficiency and resilience …

Background Feed accounts for about 70% of the total cost of poultry meat production.
Residual feed intake (RFI) has become the preferred measure of feed efficiency because it …

The purpose of this study was to identify genomic regions associated with carcass traits in
an experimental Nelore cattle population. The studied data set contained 2,306 ultrasound …

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 …

Genetic and phenotypic parameters for feed efficiency, growth, and carcass traits for
Australian Angus beef cattle were estimated. Growth traits included birth weight (BWT), 200 …

The objective of this study was to develop and validate a customized cost-effective single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel for genetic improvement of feed efficiency in beef …

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 …

Subcutaneous fat deposition has many important roles in dairy cattle, including
immunological defense and mechanical protection. The main objectives of this study are to …
