We evaluated the replacement of neutral detergent fibre levels from forage (NDFfor) by cottonseed cake on the performance, and carcass and meat traits of Nellore young bulls finished in a feedlot. Individual data from 24 Nellore young bulls with 330 ± 4.54 kg of body weight (BW) and 18 ± 1 months old were used.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the impact of different genetic groups and nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) diets on the carcass and meat quality of beef heifers.
  • The research involved 40 heifers (20 A × N and 20 C × N) fed two types of NPN diets (livestock urea and protected urea vs. extruded urea) and assessed various meat characteristics.
  • The results showed that A × N heifers had superior carcass qualities, including higher carcass weights and lower shear forces, while C × N heifers had meat with a better fatty acid profile.
