A group of 56 crossbred growing beef steers (average BW = 261 ± 18.5 kg) were adapted to a high-forage total mixed ration in a confinement dry lot equipped with GrowSafe intake nodes for period of 49 d to determine their residual feed intake classification (RFI). After RFI determination, weekly urine samples were collected three times from beef steers with negative RFI (most efficient (HFE); RFI = - 1.93 kg/d, n = 8) and positive RFI (least efficient (LFE); RFI = + 2.01 kg/d, n = 8).

Metabolome analysis was conducted using a chemical isotope labeling/liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, specifically for the analysis of metabolites containing amine/phenol-chemical groups, which are metabolites associated with metabolisms of amino acids.
