Meta-analysis across Nellore cattle populations identifies common metabolic mechanisms that regulate feed efficiency-related traits

Abstract Background Feed efficiency (FE) related traits play a key role in the economy and sustainability of beef cattle production systems. The accurate knowledge of the physiologic background for FE-related traits can help the development of more efficient selection strategies for them. Hence, mul...
