Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Pereira et al conducting a study at the São Paulo State University feedlot, Dracena campus, Brazil to compare the effects of nutritional restriction or intake of concentrate feedstuffs before the adaptation period on feedlot performance of Nellore cattle is presented. They conclude that cattle should be submitted to nutritional restriction or intake of concentrate feedstuffs before the adaptation period to improve overall feedlot performance.
