DOI: 10.1093/tas/txac048
Abstract: Abstract In calf-fed Holstein steers, the early growing phase is characterized by very high relative dry matter intake (DMI) accompanied with lower-than-expected efficiency of energy utilization. Although fat is commonly supplemented in growing–finishing diets, the… read more here.
