Performance, feed efficiency, feeding behavior, and cortisol concentration of lambs ranked for Residual Feed Intake and Residual Intake and Gain
This study aimed to evaluate the performance, feed efficiency, feeding behavior, and cortisol concentrations of lambs ranked into different groups of...
-
Determining and predicting feed intake in crossbred sheep from weaning until maturity
Access to simple, accurate feed intake models would facilitate decision-making in feedlots as feed costs are a major part of operational expenditure....
-
Compilations and updates on residual feed intake in sheep
The increasing global demand for food and the strong effect of climate change have forced animal science to advance regarding new methods of...

Dietary fiber during gestation improves lactational feed intake of sows by modulating gut microbiota
BackgroundThe feed intake of sows during lactation is often lower than their needs. High-fiber feed is usually used during gestation to increase the...

The mRNA-lncRNA landscape of multiple tissues uncovers key regulators and molecular pathways that underlie heterosis for feed intake and efficiency in laying chickens
BackgroundHeterosis is routinely exploited to improve animal performance. However, heterosis and its underlying molecular mechanism for feed intake...

Apparent digestibility and ingestive behavior of Nellore bulls with low and high residual feed intake
The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between ingestive behavior, apparent digestibility, and residual feed intake (RFI) of...

Effect of capsaicin on the feed intake and immunoglobin concentration of sows, and performance of piglets
Capsaicin is a recognized alkaloid that can be used as a flavoring and palatability agent. These effects can increase feed intake in lactating sows...

Nutrient intake, productive and metabolic parameters of Nellore bulls feed a forage free diet using cottonseed cake as a fiber source
We hypothesized that cottonseed cake in confined Nellore young bulls’ diet as fiber source, could maintain or improve the nutrient intake, and...

Excess dietary Lys reduces feed intake, stimulates jejunal CCK secretion and alters essential and non-essential blood AA profile in pigs
BackgroundCommercial diets are frequently formulated to meet or exceed nutrient levels including those of limiting essential amino acids (AA)...

Analysis of residual feed intake in Nellore bulls of different ages, rib eye area, and backfat thickness
The aim of the present study was to use different models that include body composition phenotypes for the evaluation of residual feed intake (RFI) in...

Prediction of dry matter intake and gross feed efficiency using milk production and live weight in first-parity Holstein cows
Direct measurement of dry matter intake (DMI) presents a major challenge in estimating gross feed efficiency (GFE) in dairy cattle. This challenge...
