Effect of the pasture supplementation strategy in the growing period on performance and carcass traits of crossbred cattle finished in feedlot.

The aim of this study was to evaluate performance in feedlot and carcass traits at slaughter of crossbred cattle prior raised grazing tropical grasses and receiving supplement with or without virginiamycin (VM). Steers (n = 34) and heifers (n = 31) produced from matting Nellore, ½ Nellore x ½ Angus and ½ Nellore x ½ Caracu dams with Braford, Charbray and Caracu sires were raised grazing tropical grasses (dividedinto eight paddocks of eight hectares each, formed by Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu) and received protein and mineral supplementation with or without VM (included in the supplements to provide an intake of 45 mg 100 kg BW-1) on dry (July to October) and rainy seasons (November to June), respectively, from 9 to 20mo of age
