et al.

Abstract: Feed efficiency plays a major role in the overall profitability and sustainability of the beef cattle industry, as it is directly related to the reduction of the animal demand for input and methane emissions. Traditionally, the average daily feed intake and weight gain are used to calculate feed efficiency traits. However, feed efficiency traits can be analysed longitudinally using random regression models (RRMs), which allow fitting random genetic and environmental effects over time by considering the covaria… Show more
