Characterization of rumen microbiome and immune genes expression of crossbred beef steers with divergent residual feed intake phenotypes

Abstract We investigated whole blood and hepatic mRNA expressions of immune genes and rumen microbiome of crossbred beef steers with divergent residual feed intake phenotype to identify relevant biological processes underpinning feed efficiency in beef cattle. Low-RFI beef steers (n = 20; RFI = − 1....
