Live-weight responses by young Friesian steers to supplements of oats, linseed meal and biuret
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
In the winter-rainfall areas of southern Australia cattle and sheep grazing dry pastures in late summer and early autumn commonly lose weight because of a decline in the availability and nutritive value of the dry herbage (McLaughlin, 1973). Early-weaned calves and young lambs are affected more severely than older animals probably because of their low feed intake and their high requirements for energy and protein (Preston & Willis, 1970).
