Genetic analysis of residual feed intake, feed conversion ratio and related growth parameters in broiler chicken: a review

World's Poultry Science Journal, 2020
SUMMARY Major feed ingredients, like maize and soya, and land resources are used by both humans and animals, causing competition and affecting costs. To make the poultry industry profitable, it is important to prevent wastage of feed, and feed efficiency

Prediction ability of an alternative multi-trait genomic evaluation for residual feed intake.

Journal of animal breeding and genetics = Zeitschrift fur Tierzuchtung und Zuchtungsbiologie, 2023
Selection for feed efficiency is the goal for many genetic breeding programs in beef cattle. Residual feed intake has been included in genetic evaluations to reduce feed intake without compromising performance traits as liveweight, body gain or carcass ...

Feeding efficiency and behavior of young Simmental bulls selected for high growth capacity: Comparison of bulls with high vs. low residual feed intake

Livestock Science, 2021
Thex objectives of this study were to evaluate the variability of residual feed intake (RFI) in young Simmental bulls and to study the potential use of certain feeding behavioral traits as indicators of feed efficiency.
