10 páginas, 1 tabla, 2 figuras., As higher feed efficiency in dairy ruminants means a higher capability to transform feed nutrients into milk and milk components, dierences in feed efficiency are expected to be partly linked to changes in the physiology of the mammary glands. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the biological functions and key regulatory genes associated with feed efficiency in dairy sheep using the milk somatic cell transcriptom, This research was funded by the Junta de Castilla y León (JCyL, Spain; project CSI276P18) and the Spanish Research State Agency (Agencia Estatal de Investigación, Spain; project PID2020-113441RB-I00 and MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033). Cofunding by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF/FEDER) is also acknowledged. Research activities for the University of Leon were funded by the SMARTER project through the H2020 research and innovation program of the European Commission (Grant Agreement No. 772787).
