Determinaon of <strong>feed</strong> <strong>efficiency</strong> <br />
Selecon of high <strong>and</strong> low <strong>feed</strong> efficient animals -‐ based on Residual Feed Intake <br />
Residual Feed Intake (RFI) = difference between observed <strong>and</strong> predicted <strong>feed</strong> <br />
intake, with lower RFI values indicang greater energy <strong>efficiency</strong> <br />
RFI = FI [a + b 1 * BW 0.75 + b 2 * BWG] <br />
Where a is the intercept <strong>and</strong> b 1 <strong>and</strong> b 2 are paral regression coefficients of <strong>feed</strong> intake <br />
(FI) on BW 0.75 <strong>and</strong> body weight gain (BWG), respecvely. <br />
Other measures of <strong>feed</strong> <strong>efficiency</strong> <br />
Feed <strong>efficiency</strong> = gain (g) / <strong>feed</strong> intake (g) <br />
Feed conversion rao (FCR) = <strong>feed</strong> intake <br />
(g) / gain (g) <br />
RG = BWG [a + b 1 * BW 0.75 + b 2 * FI] <br />
RIG = (RG/SD RG) -‐ (RFI/SD RFI) <br />

Gut structure, funcon, microbiota <strong>and</strong> metagenomics <br />
Hypothesis: <br />
It is assumed that the gut microbiome of pigs <strong>and</strong> broiler chickens with good <strong>and</strong> <br />
poor <strong>feed</strong> use <strong>efficiency</strong> differs in key members, thereby influencing the <br />
intesnal <strong>and</strong> metabolic host response, producon <strong>efficiency</strong> <strong>and</strong> host health. <br />
Objecves: <br />
1. To enhance our underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the interacons between gut microbiome <strong>and</strong> host <br />
genome in pigs <strong>and</strong> chickens. This task will be achieved by employing cung-‐edge <br />
<strong>16</strong>S rRNA-‐specific <strong>and</strong> shotgun metagenomics. <br />
2. Using this improved underst<strong>and</strong>ing, strategies to improve <strong>feed</strong> conversion <strong>efficiency</strong> <br />
through gut microbiome manipulaon in embryonic <strong>and</strong> subsequent developmental <br />
stages will be developed. <br />
