Associations of marker panel scores with feed intake and efficiency traits in beef cattle using pre-selected single nucleotide polymorphisms

Because of the moderate heritability and the expense associated with collection of feed intake data, effective selection for residual feed intake (RFI) would be enhanced if marker assisted evaluation were used for accurate estimation of genetic merit. In this study, a suite of genetic markers predic...
