Resumen:

Residual feed intake (RFI), the difference between actual and predicted dry matter (DM) intake, based on average daily gain (ADG) and metabolic body weight (BW0.75), is an interesting breeding objective because its positive impacts on production systems profitability, use of limited resources and environmental sustainability.
