The objective of this trial was to evaluate intake, digestibility, performance, development, feed efficiency and feeding costs in dairy heifers fed increasing levels of citrus pulp that partially replaced Tifton-85 hay (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pear) in the diet. Twenty-eight Holstein dairy heifers averaging 12 months of age and 184 kg of BW at the beginning of the trial were blocked by initial BW and, within each block (7 blocks), randomly assigned to one of the following four treatments: 0, 16.6, […]
