Genetics of feed efficiency and feeding behavior in crossbred beef steers with emphasis on genotype-by-environment interactions 收藏

饲料效率和摄食行为的基因型通过与环境的相互作用的杂交肉牛肉牛重点遗传学
摘要
This study examined whether crossbred steers had different production, feed efficiency and feeding behavior performances when they were fed a grower or finisher diet or both, in successive feeding periods. Major feed efficiency traits were residual feed intake (RFI) and gain to feed ratio (G:F) while feeding behavior traits were feeding duration (FD), head-down time (HDT) and feeding frequency (FF). Some steers received a grower diet in the first feeding period and a finisher diet in the second period (feed-swap); the control groups received only the grower or finisher diet in both periods. Compared to the control groups, about 7% more steers in the feed-swap group changed their RFI performance by 0.5 SD by the second period. Using steers in the feed-swap group (n = 331), the study observed greater (P
