All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A factorially designed experiment had 18 Hereford and 18 Holstein steers on individually fed, high-grain diets. One diet included 59% rolled barley, 30% CSF beet pulp, 5% protein, vitamin, mineral, and stilbestrol supplement, and 6% chopped hay and straw.

The Holstein's feed consumption and rate of gain, 23.4 and 2.71 lb. …
