Body Composition Efficiency

Body Composition Efficiency is a metric in animal science that quantifies the proportion of nutrient intake effectively retained in desirable body components, such as lean tissue or muscle, relative to total energy or feed intake, thereby differentiating it from broader measures of feed efficiency by focusing specifically on the partitioning of nutrients into economically valuable body constituents.
