Reducing GHG emissions through genetic improvement for feed efficiency: effects on economically important traits and enteric methane production

Genetic selection for residual feed intake (RFI) is an indirect approach for reducing enteric methane (CH(4)) emissions in beef and dairy cattle. RFI is moderately heritable (0.26 to 0.43), moderately repeatable across diets (0.33 to 0.67) and independent of body size and production, and when adjust...
