Extract

A large quantity of whey is produced in Iran and mostly is discharged into streams and seasonal rivers, which cause environmental pollution. Whey as a nutritious dairy by-product can effectively be fed to ruminants (Bayat et al. 2002). This experiment was conducted to study the effects of concentrate substitution by liquid whey on performance, rumen and blood parameters of the Holstein steers.
