Abstract
Fifty steers were fed ad libitum for 127 days to evaluate the effect on animal performance and nutrient digestibility of the addition of rapeseed meal and rapeseed gum to a feedlot ration containing a high level of barley. There were no beneficial responses (P > 0.05) in nutrient digestibility, feedlot performance or carcass characteristics when 5% rapeseed meal was added to a high-barley diet containing 10.8% crude protein. The addition of 0.1, 0.2 or 3% rapeseed gum to the diet also had no significant (P > 0.05) effect on any of the parameters measured.
