Accuracy of genomic breeding values for residual feed intake in crossbred beef cattle
The benefit of using genomic breeding values (GEBV) in predicting ADG, DMI and residual feed intake (RFI) for an admixed population was investigated. Phenotypic data consisting of individual daily feed intake measurements for 721 beef cattle steers tested over 5 yr was available for analysis. The an...
