The repeatability of feed intake and feed efficiency in beef cattle offered high-concentrate, grass silage and pasture-based diets
Breeding values for feed intake and feed efficiency in beef cattle are generally derived indoors on high-concentrate (HC) diets. Within temperate regions of north-western Europe, however, the majority of a growing beef animal’s lifetime dietary intake comes from grazed grass and grass silage. Using...
