Profile of the Spleen Transcriptome in Beef Steers with Variation in Gain and Feed Intake
We have previously identified components of the immune system contributing to feed intake and gain in both the rumen and small intestine of beef steers. In this study, we examined the spleen, a major lymphatic organ near the digestive tract, to determine whether it was also influencing individual fe...
