¹Groups were least-ADG steers (n = 8), with the least average daily gain, and greatest-ADG steers (n = 8), with the greatest average daily gain, with groups having similar dry matter intake. ²AUC = area under the curve calculated by receiver-operator characteristic curve analysis. ³FDR = false discovery rate p-adjustment.
