Genotype-by-environment interactions for feed efficiency traits in Nellore cattle based on bi-trait reaction norm models
Abstract Background Selecting animals for feed efficiency directly impacts the profitability of the beef cattle industry, which contributes to minimizing the environmental footprint of beef production. Genetic and environmental factors influence animal feed efficiency, leading to phenotypic variabil...
