  abstract: "Feed efficiency is increasingly seen as an important factor in both the economic viability and environmental sustainability of cattle production. This book provides beef industry professionals and researchers with a thorough yet concise overview of feed efficiency research. Coverage includes efficient production in a wide range of systems and environments, with topics ranging from economic evaluation to the physiological and genetic basis of feed efficiency. The book also looks at how a fuller understanding of feed efficiency is leading to new selective breeding efforts to develop more efficient cattle"--
  table of contents: Input factors affecting profitability: a changing paradigm and a challenging time -- Measuring individual feed intake and utilization in growing cattle -- Producer awareness and perceptions about feed efficiency in beef cattle -- Feed efficiency in different management systems: cow-calf and in the feedyard -- Lessons from the Australian experience -- Nutrition and feed efficiency of beef cattle -- Genetic improvement of feed efficiency -- Feed efficiency and animal robustness -- Interactions with other traits: reproduction and fertility -- Feed efficiency interactions with other traits: growth and product quality -- Estimating feed efficiency of lactating dairy cattle using residual feed intake -- Muscle and adipose tissue: potential roles in driving variation in feed efficiency -- Epigenetics and effects on the neonate that may impact feed efficiency -- Hormonal regulation of feed efficiency -- Variation in metabolism: biological efficiency of energy production and utilization that affects feed efficiency -- Modeling feed efficiency
