Abstract

Sixty heifer and 34 bull calves were fed starter diets containing either control or extruded soybean meal (SBM) and either 2.5% or no bypass fat from birth to 8 wk of age. There were no interactions between the type of SBM and the amount of fat. There were no significant differences between the calves fed control or extruded SBM with or without fat supplementation, although the trends favored the calves fed extruded SBM with no bypass fat.
