Abstract

Residual feed intake (RFI) is an effective indicator to evaluate the feed utilization efficiency. Compared with the indexes of feed to gain ratio and gain to feed ratio, RFI can avoid to the inherent difference in animals of different shapes and different growth stages, and promote scientificity of the evaluation on feed utilization efficiency. With the development of science and technology, the pressure sensor system and image information system can help to collect relevant data of feed intake more quickly and effectively. The studies found that ruminant animals with low RFI had a stronger roughage digestive ability. Meanwhile, there were differences in the rumen bacterial composition in different levels of RFI, and the key genes for the transport of volatile fatty acids in the rumen were correlated with the level of RFI. Although the differences in slaughtering performance and carcass traits of different RFI have not been consistent in studies on different animals, breeding livestock with low RFI in reproduction can accelerate production efficiency and lower feed cost. Therefore, the application of RFI in large-scale breeding can improve the management level of ranching and provide significantly economic benefits.

Key words： residual feed intake; ruminant; computational model; feed intake measurement; performance
