Genetic parameters for feed efficiency in Romane rams and responses to single-generation selection

Genetic parameters for feed efficiency in Romane rams and responses to single-generation selection

Feeding costs represent one of the highest expenditures in animal production systems. Breeding efficient animals that express their growth potential while eating less is therefore a major objective for breeders. We estimated the genetic parameters for feed intake, feed efficiency traits (residual fe...
