Extract

The effects of supplementing straw based diets with either a protein-rich (fishmeal) or a starch-rich (barley) concentrate or a combination of both were investigated using growing Friesian heifers. Digestion and feeding trials were run in parallel to determine the extent to which the growth rate responses to supplementation could be attributed to changes in nutrient supply.
