This trial was conducted to study the effects of replacing corn with increasing levels of cassava starch by-products on carcass and meat characteritics for fedlot young bulls. Percentages of substitution were 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100, in dry matter basis. Forty crossbred bulls (½ and ¾ Bos taurus x Bos índicus), averaging 21 months old and 363 kg of initial body weight and 570 kg of final body weight were assigned to a block design with eight replicates by […]
