Journal of Animal Science, 2021 Rates of gain and feed efficiency are important traits in most breeding programs for growing farm animals. The rate of gain (GAIN) is usually expressed over a certain age period and feed efficiency is often expressed as residual feed intake (RFI ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Relationship between feed efficiency and resilience in dairy ewes subjected to acute underfeeding
Journal of Dairy Science, 2023 : Selection of dairy sheep based on production levels has caused a loss of rusticity, which might compromise their future resilience to nutritional challenges.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Time‐restricted feeding (TRF) in mice increased liver fatty acid oxidation and decreased fatty acid biosynthesis. These alterations persisted when TRF was discontinued and the host was infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pre‐exposure to TRF did not alter tissue (lung and spleen) mycobacterial burden but significantly reduced CD3+ T cells in lungs

Analysis of Body Weight and Feed Intake Curves in Selection Lines for Residual Feed Intake in Pigs [PDF]
, 2009 A selection experiment for reducing residual feed intake (RFI= feed consumed over and above expected requirements for production and maintenance) in Yorkshire pigs consists of a line selected for lower RFI (LRFI) and a random control line (CTRL ...

Differential expression of uncoupling protein gene in feed efficient cattle
Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019 Uncoupling proteins (UCP) are carrier proteins that release protons during respiration dissipitating energy in the form of heat. Expression of these genes plays an important role in feed efficiency through regulation of energy balance.

Systems biology analysis merging phenotype, metabolomic and genomic data identifies Non-SMC Condensin I Complex, Subunit G (NCAPG) and cellular maintenance processes as major contributors to genetic variability in bovine feed efficiency. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Feed efficiency is a paramount factor for livestock economy. Previous studies had indicated a substantial heritability of several feed efficiency traits.
