Review: Feed efficiency and metabolic flexibility in livestock by W.M. Rauw, L.H. Baumgard, J.C.M. Dekkers

“…Feed efficiency also depends on processes that are not directly related to economically important phenotypes, which can be considered ‘waste’ from a production point of view but are vital maintenance-related functions that are closely associated with environmental flexibility and adaptation. Resource allocation theory suggests that an animal’s resource budget is narrowed when production efficiency is improved through an increase in productive output, along with a decrease in feed intake (capacity) and body reserves (improved leanness). …”
