Effects of roughage and protein levels on performance of finishing steers and heifers

Harrison, K.F.; Riley, Jack G.
A 142-day trial used 36 Angus steers and 63 mixed-breed heifers to

study the effects of roughage and protein levels in beef cattle finishing

rations. Results from a 13% crude protein ration the first 70 days or a

ration with supplemental protein removed the final 30 days did not

differ significantly from results with an 11% crude protein ration.

Rations containing 10.0, 17.5 or 25.0% roughage (dry matter basis)

made no significant difference in performances by steers or heifers.
