Genotype-by-environment interactions for feed efficiency traits in Nellore cattle based on bi-trait reaction norm models

CONCLUSIONS: Our results show evidence of G × E interactions on feed efficiency traits in Nellore cattle, especially in feeding trials with an average daily gain (ADG) that is far from the expected of 1 kg/day, thus increasing reranking of animals.PMID:38097941 | PMC:PMC10722809 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-023-00867-2
