The published paper by Castro Bulle et al., "Growth, carcassquality, and protein and energy metabolism in beef cattle withdifferent growth potentials and residual feed intakes" (J. Anim.Sci. 2007. 85:928–936, doi:10.2527/jas.2006–373),contains an erroneous statement in the Abstract (pg. 928) andrepeated in the final paragraph of the Discussion (pg. 935),as follows: "Residual feed intake may be negatively correlatedwith ME for maintenance". The word "negatively" should havebeen "positively". Also, on lines 10–11 of page 935, thewords "total maintenance energy" should read "total metabolizableenergy". All other statements concerning the correlation ofME for maintenance and residual feed intake are correct, asare the data contained in Table 7 (pg. 934).
