Chemical Group-Based Metabolome Analysis Identifies Candidate Plasma Biomarkers Associated With Residual Feed Intake in Beef Steers

Chemical Group-Based Metabolome Analysis Identifies Candidate Plasma Biomarkers Associated With Residual Feed Intake in Beef Steers

We applied chemical group-based metabolomics to identify blood metabolic signatures associated with residual feed intake in beef cattle. A group of 56 crossbred growing beef steers (average BW = 261.3 ± 18.5 kg) were adapted to a high-forage total mixed ration in a confinement dry lot equipped with...
