Identification of genes expressed in the liver transcriptome of Holstein-Friesian and Charolais steers divergent in residual feed intake across three dietary phases

The identification of genes implicated in the divergence of residual feed intake (RFI) and their inclusion in genomic assisted breeding programmes may enable rapid, cost-effective selection of low RFI cattle. However, markers for RFI used for genomic selection must be robust across breed and the var...
