Molecular Factors Influencing Feed Efficiency in Mature Beef Cows
Identifying molecular mechanisms regulating cellular energy utilization may lead to increased understanding of maintenance energy cost and improved feed efficiency in beef cows. Three experiments were conducted to characterize measures of residual feed intake (RFI) in pregnant beef cows; to examine...
