Abstract
SUMMARY: An experiment was carried out in which equal amounts of concentrate were given to beef cattle once, twice or three times per day, with a basal hay diet. There were no significant differences between treatments in food and water intake, digestibility coefficients, nitrogen balance data or live-weight gain.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
