Abstract: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of immunocastration on the animal growth, carcass traits, and meat quality of Nellore cattle receiving or not Ionophore supplementation at pasture or pasture with concentrate (semi-feedlot). The first experiment (Pasture) was carried out during the rainy season, while the second (supplemented = Semifeedlot) was conducted during the dry season. In each assessment, 60 males were allocated into three treatments, in a completely randomized design: non-castrated, immu… Show more

“…At 12 months of age, differences between bulls and steers in cartilage development were negligible; however, at older ages, bull carcasses consistently exhibited a more advanced maturity [ 41 ]. Jacinto-Valderrama et al [ 55 ], working with Nellore cattle, also reported that the bone physiological maturity of carcasses revealed that bulls, regardless of the production system (grazing vs. semi-confinement), were significantly older than immuno-castrated steers.…”
