Abstract

Relationships between residual feed intake (RFI) and other performance variables were determined using 54 purebred Angus steers. Individual feed intake and BW gain were recorded during a 70-d post-weaning period to calculate RFI. After the 70-d post-weaning test, steers were fed a finishing ration to a similar fat thickness (FT), transported to a commercial facility, and slaughtered. A subsample of carcasses (n = 32) was selected to examine the relationships among RFI, meat quality, and palatability. Steers were categorized into high (>0.5 SD above the mean; n = 16), medium (mid; [+ or -] 0.5 SD from the mean; n = 21), and low ( Key words: efficiency, beef, meat quality, palatability, residual feed intake
