Effect of crude protein level in high grain diets on calf growth and feed utilization

This study assessed the effect of crude protein level in the diet on animal performance, feed conversion ratio and N utilization, in early-weaned lot-fed calves. Four iso-energetic rations were formulated (ME: 12.0 MJ/kg dm) differing in the crude protein content (CP: 12%, 15%, 17% and 21%, DM basis...
