The genetic parameters of feed efficiency and its component traits in the turkey (<it>Meleagris gallopavo)</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Residual feed intake (RFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) can be incorporated into a breeding program as traits to select for feed efficiency. Alternatively, the direct measures used to calculate RFI and FCR can be analyzed to determine the underlying variation...
