Isolating the cow-specific part of residual energy intake in lactating dairy cows using random regressions
The ability to properly assess and accurately phenotype true differences in feed efficiency among dairy cows is key to the development of breeding programs for improving feed efficiency. The variability among individuals in feed efficiency is commonly characterised by the residual intake approach. R...
