The objective of this study was evaluate the levels of protein-energy supplementation, offered at different frequencies, to growing steers kept on Brachiaria decumbens pasture during the dry season. Twenty-five no castrated steers were used, 191 kg initial average weight, in a randomized complete block design, with five replications per treatment in a 2 × 2 + 1 factorial arrangement, that is, two protein-energy supplementation levels (0.3 and 0.6% on the basis of body weight (BW)), two supplement distribution frequencies – […]
