FEEDLOT PERFORMANCE OF STEERS FED WITH SILAGES OF CORN AND OF SORGHUMASSOCIATED WITH THREE LEVELS OF CONCENTRATE

The experiment was conducted at the Núcleo de Produção Animal (NUPRAN)of the Universidade Estadual do Centro Oeste do Paraná (UNICENTRO). The trial aimed to evaluate the feedlot performance of steers fed with silages of corn (Zea mays) and of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) associated with three levels of...
