Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how different rates of weight gain during backgrounding affected the performance and meat quality of Angus steers finished in feedlots.
- 36 steers were divided into groups with high, medium, and low average daily gain (ADG), with varying feed restrictions to achieve these rates.
- Results showed that steers with low ADG had better overall carcass and meat quality traits, like higher weight, yield, and tenderness, despite taking longer in the finishing phase compared to those with medium or high ADG.
Objective: The aim was to evaluate backgrounding beef steers on oat + ryegrass pastures mixed with vetch and/or using energy supplementation.
Methods: A randomized block design with three treatments and three replications was used. The treatments were: grass + supplement (oat + ryegrass + supplementation), legume + supplement (oat + ryegrass + vetch + supplementation) and grass + legume (oat + ryegrass + vetch).
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a mixture of temperate and legume grasses with or without energy supplementation on the performance and feeding behavior of finishing beef steers. Eighteen Nellore-Zebu steers, average 23 months old and body weight (BW) of 380 kg, were used in a continuous grazing system, in a randomized block experimental design. Treatments were ORS: oat (Avena strigosa Schreb) + annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam) + supplementation with corn bran; ORVS: oat + ryegrass + vetch (Vicia sativa L.
