ADFI, average daily feed intake; ADG, average weight gain; MBW0.75, metabolic body weight; FCR, feed conversion ratio; RFI, residual feed intake; ACE, angiotensin I converting enzyme; ALB, albumin; CD36, CD36 molecule; FAXDC2, fatty acid hydroxylase domain containing 2; CHKA, choline kinase alpha; APOH, apolipoprotein H; LRFI, lowest RFI; HRFI, highest RFI.
The number of samples of LRFI and HRFI groups is 10, respectively.
