[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 431265, member: 1604"] I'm thinking this "FE" genetics thing cannot pinpoint animals with any degree of certainty and is just another misnomer by Bovigen. There are way too many variables. Pancreas insulin production, body temperature, saliva production, bone structure, to name a few. Thay might have identified a couple of unique genes in animals that are efficient, but selection for those genes may offset other valuable characteristics. I'd like to see the research on this project.......... :roll: Leaner type cattle are always more efficient that those little short, fat, butterballs. Takes way more calories to put on fat. [/QUOTE]
