| Abstract | Sixteen 1,053 lb two-year-old Hereford steers were used in four replicationsof a 4 x 4 Latin square to determine the effect of different protein and grain supplementation programs on intake and digestibility of medium quality prairie hay (4.2 percent CP, dry matter basis). Prairie hay was fed free choice. The four treatments (dry matter basis) were: 1) Control, hay only, plus minerals-vitamins; 2) Low level of supplemental protein (LL), .8 lb of 32 percent CP supplement/day; 3) High level of supplemental protein (HL), 1.4 lb of 34 percent CP supplement/day;4) Corn grain based supplement containing low level of protein (GR), 3.1 lb supplement/day, 13 percent CPo The HL treatment was selected to provide twice the supplemental protein as the LL treatment, and at an equal hay intake, the LL and GR treatments provided equal total dietary protein. |
