Abstract: ABSTRACT One hundred twenty-six Holstein steers (457.1 ± 27.5 kg BW) were used in a 127-d experiment to evaluate the influence of dietary cation–anion difference (DCAD) on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Treatments consisted of steam-flaked corn-based diets… read more here.
