Effect of previous treatment upon fattening gains of heifers-Summary.

Abstract

The way that animals are fed and managed before going into the feed lot may influence the rate and efficiency of gain on a fattening ration. This is particularly true with pigs. This experiment was planned to obtain information on the response of heifers on a fattening ration after having received different kinds of roughage in their wintering rations. The different rations were supplemented to make them similar in protein, total digestible nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
