An alternative interpretation of residual feed intake by phenotypic recursive relationships in dairy cattle
There has been increasing interest in residual feed intake (RFI) as a measure of net feed efficiency in dairy cattle. Residual feed intake phenotypes are obtained as residuals from linear regression encompassing relevant factors (i.e., energy sinks) to account for body tissue mobilization. By rearra...
