摘要: The objective of the experiment was to evaluate, during growth phase, dry matter intake, weight gain and feed conversion young bulls steers, castrated at eight month, from two breeding systems, straightbred (Charolais - C Nellore N) crossbred (1/2 CN, 1/2 NC), as well measure resulting heterosis. animals were confined nine twelve months fed a 15% crude protein diet 70:30 forage concentrate ratio. There no difference between steers for intake (DMI) in kg/animal.day (DMID), DMI per unit metabolic (DMIM) 100 kg live (DMIP). showed 13,7% higher average daily (ADG) more efficient (4.66 vs 4.99 DMI/kg gain) than steers. effect castration on pronounced calves sired by (1.00 1.19 kg) N (.91 .97 kg). F1 ADG straightbreds, 9.28% presented DMID N. However, DMIM DMIP similar groups. CN NC did not show studied variables. efficient, conversion, bulls.
