Feedlot Performance, Carcass and Offal Yield of Kenana X Friesian Bulls Finished on Rations Containing Different Levels of Molasses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The average daily gain, over a 100-day feeding period, of Kenana X Friesian bulls on a ration containing 25% cane molasses (A), 50% cane molasses (B) or 45% sorghum grain (C) was 0.991, 0.698 and 1.351 kg respectively. Feed conversion ratio and the cost of a kilo gram of body gain were higher on group B followed by group A and C in descending order. The molasses fed groups lost some animals during the course of the experiment. The weight of the carcass and non-carcass components of the empty body did not differ sip,nificantly (P> 0.05) between treatment groups; but animals of group C had more omental fat than animals of the other two groups.
