Breeding for feed efficiency and adaptation to feed in poultry

World's Poultry Science Journal, 2008
The following paper reviews the current data regarding the physiological origins of variations in feed efficiency, and the effects of genetic selection on energy balance parameters. Effects of diet composition on response to genetic selection are considered by focusing on three feed factors: protein concentration, energy concentration and utilisation ...

Feeding Efficiency of Premature Neonates

The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1989
Abstract The purpose of this study was (a) to investigate the validity of the revised Neonatal Oral Motor Assessment Scale (NOMAS) in discriminating between efficient and inefficient feeders in a sample of high-risk premature neonates and (b) to identify significantly different oral motor behaviors in the two groups.

The dynamic behavior of feed efficiency in primiparous dairy cattle

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2020
A variety of measures are currently used to evaluate feed efficiency in livestock, with some of the most popular being the linear regression of nutrient intake on the various energy sinks of the cohort being evaluated.

Efficiency of Feed Conversion

Science, 1967
Under optimum conditions, young healthy individuals of each livestock species may convert about one-third of the digestible protein in its feed into tissue protein in its body. Of this tissue protein, we use about half as food.

Feed efficiency metrics in growing pigs

Journal of Animal Science, 2017
The objective of the present study was to quantify the interrelationships between different feed efficiency measures in growing pigs and characterize pigs divergent for a selection of these measures. The data set included data from 311 growing pigs between 42 and 91 d of age from 3 separate batches.
