Residual carbon dioxide production from DMI (RCPD)	0.26	0.00	0.56	0.62	0.46		0.55	0.85
Residual carbon dioxide production from BW (RCPB)	0.00	0.21	0.50	0.28	0.70	0.71		0.84
Residual carbon dioxide production from DMI and BW (RCPDB)	0.00	0.00	0.48	0.53	0.66	0.85	0.94

¹Correlation coefficients with absolute values greater than 0.18 and 0.11 are significantly (P < 0.05) different from zero for TARC heifers and BIN steers, respectively.
