The objective of this trial was to develop simple regression equations for estimating the chemical body composition of Nellore steers by using the chemical composition of the 9-10-11th ribs cut. Twenty-seven feedlot Nellore steers varying from 338.0 to 503.6 kg of BW and from 21 to 31 months of age were used. Six reference animals were slaughtered at the beginning of the trial to estimate the initial chemical body composition. Contents of water, protein, EE, and ash of the 9-10-11th […]

The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effects of replacing corn grain with dehydrated citrus pulp pellets on body weight gains, deposition rates of nutrients and body chemical composition of Santa Gertrudis young bulls. Twenty-eight animals averaging nine months of age and initial body weight of 277 kg were kept in individual pens during 92 days after 21 days of adaptation. Animals were fed a diet containing 20% (DM basis) of 40%-grain corn silage. The following dietary levels […]
