The Voluntary Intake of Diets Differing in Digestible Energy Concentration and Form of Hay

Abstract

of diets differing in digestible energy concentration and form of hay. Can. J. Anim. One hundred sixty steer calves were allotted to 10 groups and fed diets with hay to concentrate ratios of '17:23, 68:32, 59:41 Le taux de gain augmente d mesure que la proportion de foin de la ration diminue, et ce, pour des rations contenant du foin long ou en cubes. L'6paisseur du gras dorsal de la carcasse augmente avec la diminution de la teneur en foin de la ration.Les bouvillons nourris de foin long affichent un gras dorsal plus 6pais que ceux nourris de foin en cubes.

Digestibility and performance of dairy bulls fed corn and grass silages with various sequences and levels of barley

“…Many experiments have been conducted with beef steers but little information is available on the effects of feeding strategy on the performance of dairy animals. Forrest (1971) Levy et al (1976) (Hironaka et al 1986).…”

Digestible energy requirements for growth in Hereford and Charolais × Hereford steers

The equations derived in the present study, combined with expected carcass grades from feeding trials (Hironaka and Kozub 19'73, l99l: Hironaka et al 1979, 1984, 1985, 1986 (Colucci et al 1989).
