Extract

Due to the high growth potential of bulls compared cross steers and the reduced price of concentrate feeds, there is a gradual move towards feeding continental and bulls from the suckler herd on all concentrate diets from weaning to slaughter at 12 to 15 months of age. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of diet type and slaughter weight on animal growth and feed conversion efficiency.
