Calculation of RFI and FCR The RFI calculation was based on a previously described model [21]. The experimental period was conducted during the rapid growth period of the animals so the individual BW and ages were linearly related. The regression equation was [Math Processing Error]BW=μ+a×DO...

Manhattan and Q–Q plots of genome-wide association P values for feed conversion ratio. FCR1 and FCR2 represent feed conversion ratio in laying periods between 37 and 40 weeks and between 57 and 60 weeks, respectively; FCR represents feed conversion ratio in the bivariate analysis; LGE64 linka...
Feed conversion ratio ( FCR ) in grow-finishing pigs is one of the most important determinants of pig farm profitability and production efficiency. In its simplest form, FCR represents the amount of feed used per unit weight gain of the pig. Yet, this approach entails various limitations hamper...
Interestingly, feed efficiency is not always reported simply as a ratio of body weight gain to feed consumed. This review will explain why this arithmetic calculation, as simple as it initially seems, and as universally applied as it is in science and commerce, can often be misleading due to...

2.4 Calculation and statistical analyses Feed AME was calculated by subtracting excreta GE from GE intake divided by FI. The O 2consumed was directly calculated from the gravimetric change in O 2cylinder weight before and after the chamber was operating. The volumes (in liters) of gaseous exchan...
The differences in fat deposition between these two anatomical regions and the RFI effects on rump fat in the first feeding period of this study suggest that the inclusion of subcutaneous fat thickness in the RFI calculation to adjust for differences in body composition (Lancaster et al., 2009,...
