Relationships between residual intake and gain, performance, feeding behavior and body measures in Brahman young bulls.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships between residual intake and gain (RIG), performance, feeding behavior (FB) and body measures (BM) in Brahman cattle. Twenty-four Brahman young bulls with 19 months of age and 370 ± 34 kg of initial body weight were subjected to a 14-day adaptation period and had the dry matter intake (DMI) and average daily gain (ADG) measured in individual pens during the following 54-day period. Cattle received a total mixed ration containing 73.5% of Total Digestible Nutrients and 14.5% of Crude Protein and they were weighed each 14 days.
