Exploring the rumen microbial function in Angus bulls with divergent residual feed intake

Exploring the rumen microbial function in Angus bulls with divergent residual feed intake

This study leverages Shotgun metagenomics to assess the rumen microbial community and functionality in Angus bulls with differing residual feed intake-expected progeny difference (RFI-EPD) values, aiming to elucidate the microbial contributions to feed efficiency. Negative RFI-EPD bulls (NegRFI: n=1...
