Genome-wide association study for residual concentrate intake using different approaches in Italian Brown Swiss

Residual feed intake (RFI) is the most used measure of feed efficiency. However, considering the importance of concentrates in the ration, a new index, the residual concentrate intake (RCI), was here defined. RCI aims to measure the individual efficiency in converting the concentrate into animal pro...
