Description:	The residual feed and gain (RI&G) was recently reported as an alternative feed efficiency trait in beef cattle; however, associations of RI&G with carcass traits have not been described. The aim was to evaluate the phenotypic correlations of RI&G with ultrasound carcass traits in Nellore bulls and steers. Individual dry matter intake (DMI) and average daily gain (ADG) were computed in Nellore steers (n = 267, 20-mo old; 346 ± 30 kg initial BW) and bulls (n = 277, 22-mo old; 391 ± 40 kg initial BW) in performance tests that were carried out from 2005 to 2011.
