Description:	Feed efficiency is a key factor in animal production sustainability, directly affecting production costs, environmental efficiency, and farmer profitability. The inclusion of feeding efficiency traits in cattle breeding programs has occurred later than other species due to longer life cycles and the high costs associated with measuring feed intake. However, genomic selection has facilitated the inclusion of difficult-to-measure traits in selection schemes. Thus, understanding the genetic basis of feed efficiency, particularly under varying environmental conditions, is essential.
