The objective was to evaluate the efficiency of conversion of dry matter (DM) and metabolizable energy (ME) of the diet on weight gain and weight of calf weaned per cow. A total of 13 Nellore, 13 crossbred F1 Simental × Nellore (SN) and 13 F1 Limousin × Nellore (LN) cows with 5 to 9 years of age and their offspring was used. Between 15 and 210 days post calving, the cows were kept in individual stalls, with the calves. Diets […]
