Abstract
In 4 successive trials weight gain was observed on growing Holstein heifers as a result of feeding 24 X or 10 X vs 2 X daily. Both restricted and unrestricted systems for governing feed intake were employed. Frequent feeding induced faster weight gain only when the rations were quantitatively restricted, and only for a period of 30 to 38 days. There were no significant differences in feed consumption between treatment and control animals.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
