Energy partition for maintenance and weight gain in Nellore and crossbred steers finished under grazing Partição de energia para mantença e ganho em novilhos nelores e mestiços terminados a pasto

The objective of this work was to estimate net energy (NEm) and metabolizable energy (MEm) requirements for maintenance and efficiency of use of metabolizable energy for maintanence (k m) and gain (k g) of grazing Nellore and crossbred steers. It was used 24 castrated steers, 12 Nellore breed (386 k...
