  1. 1: The mean residual feed intake was calculated from only genotyped animals. The mean of RFI in the whole population was zero. The negative mean values from current data set implied that these animals have better feed efficiency. The values are shown as mean ± SD.
  2. 2: DFI: Daily feed intake, ADG: Average daily gain, BF: Backfat, RFI1: Residual feed intake 1, RFI2: Residual feed intake 2, dEBV: Deregressed EBV.
