(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The objectives of this study were accomplished with two experiments in growing Bonsmara bulls (N = 68) (experiment 1), and Simmental crossbred calves (N = 132) (experiment 2). Specific objectives for experiment 1 were to ...

(2019-07-17)he objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of residual feed intake (RFI) classification on growth efficiency, feeding behavior patterns, carcass ultrasound and fertility traits in growing bulls. In study 1, ...
-
(2011-10-21)These studies were designed to evaluate the relationships that exist between residual feed intake, parity, rate of return to estrous cyclicity and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations, as well as changes in ...
-
(2009-05-15)Feed efficiency in fed F2 Nellore-Angus steers produced through embryo transfer was evaluated using two methods: residual feed intake (RFI) and NRC-based model predicted residual consumption (MPRC). Sire and family(sire) ...

(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Objectives of this research were to characterize residual feed intake (RFI) in growing and finishing steers and examine phenotypic correlations between performance, feed efficiency, carcass, digestib ility, and physiological ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Objectives of this study were to determine if variation in energy expenditures contributed to differences in feed efficiency between low and high RFI steers. Nine steers with the lowest and highest residual feed intakes ...
