Journal ArticleDOI
Biological basis for variation in residual feed intake in beef cattle 1: Review of potential mechanisms
TL;DR: This paper summarises some plausible mechanisms by which variation in efficiency of nutrient use may occur and presents several testable hypotheses for such variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth, development and nutritional manipulation of marbling in cattle: a review
TL;DR: It is argued that the greatest potential for the manipulation of intramuscular fat accretion during fattening is via an increase in the net energy of the ration, which can be achieved by increasing the cereal grain content of the diet, and by feeding processed cereal grain, which allows both maximal rumen fermentation and small intestinal digestion of starch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic parameters for feed efficiency, fatness, muscle area and feeding behaviour of feedlot finished beef cattle
TL;DR: In this study, selection for reduced fatness was predicted to reduce RFI by more than direct selection, and multivariate selection is recommended to achieve increased feed efficiency together with the desired level of fatness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body composition and implications for heat production of Angus steer progeny of parents selected for and against residual feed intake
TL;DR: There was no evidence that a difference in the chemical composition of gain over the test explained the greater intake of metabolisable energy (ME) by the high RFI steers, and the results suggest that the difference in ME intake following a single generation of divergent selection for RFI was due to metabolic processes rather than to changes in body composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
A universal equation to predict methane production of forage-fed cattle in Australia

TL;DR: If the revised MP (g/day) approach is used to calculate Australia’s national inventory, it will reduce estimates of emissions of forage-fed cattle by 24%, which represents a 12.6 Mt CO2-e reduction in calculated annual emissions from Australian cattle.
