Genome-wide association study between copy number variation and feeding behavior, feed efficiency, and growth traits in Nellore cattle

Genome-wide association study between copy number variation and feeding behavior, feed efficiency, and growth traits in Nellore cattle

Abstract Background Feeding costs represent the largest expenditures in beef production. Therefore, the animal efficiency in converting feed in high-quality protein for human consumption plays a major role in the environmental impact of the beef industry and in the beef producers’ profitability. In...
