• Genetic parameters for feed efficiency, fatness, muscle area and feeding behaviour of feedlot finished beef cattle (2004, result): “Our cattle were finished for three different markets, so the range of weights was much greater than other published work (Arthur et al., 2001a,b,c; Herd and Bishop, 2000) and measurements recorded on several breeds of temperate and tropically adapted cattle.”
• Biological basis for variation in residual feed intake in beef cattle 1: Review of potential mechanisms (2004, background): “1999) and there is evidence that maintenance energy requirement per unit metabolic weight was closely associated with genetic variation in RFI (Herd and Bishop 2000).”
• Body composition and implications for heat production of Angus steer progeny of parents selected for and against residual feed intake (2001, methodology): “Residual heat production was calculated to be net of the energy used in synthesis of the amounts of protein and fat gained over the test period, and is analogous to maintenance energy expenditure used in Herd and Bishop (2000).”
• Meat quality and the calpain system of feedlot steers following a single generation of divergent selection for residual feed intake (2001, background): “…gain are consistent with the moderate negative genetic correlation (rg = –0.43) between postweaning RFI and carcass lean content in British Hereford bulls (Herd and Bishop 2000), and between feedlot steer RFI and subcutaneous rib fat (rg = 0.26) and P8 rump fat (rg = 0.28; Robinson et al. 1999).”
