Two groups of nine animals each, were fed either a conventional diet based on ground maize or whole maize and roughage protein - additive - mineral pellets in a cafeteria system. Both groups were fed ad libitum for a period…
The growth and efficiency of feed utilization of Simmentaler steers were studied on three dietary energy concentrations and three feeding levels. Energy concentration was varied through concentrate : roughage ratios, 80:20, 50:50 and 20:80, respectively, while the feeding levels were…
Three groups of nine steers each were fed fattening diets, containing either non bird-resistant (NBR), paraformaldehyde-treated bird-resistant (PBR) or bird-resistant (BR) sorghum grain as the energy source, for 105 days. The BR group performed consistently worse than both the NBR…
A total of 108 medium frame weaner steers, divided into 9 groups of 12 each with mean group masses of 200 kg, were used to determine the effect of three concentrate to roughage (C: R) ratios (80: 20, 55: 45,…
