ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate feedlot rearing as a strategy for beef calves during the dry season and to assess the effects of genetic group and sex on productive performance. Fifty-four calves were allocated to a completely randomized design with a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, consisting of three genetic groups (Caracu, Nellore, and Caracu × Nellore crossbred) and two sex classes. The diet was formulated to support an average daily gain (ADG) of 0.5 kg/day. […]
