The use of metabolizable energy by steers fed diets with liquid distillers grains and high levels of magnesium
Abstract
Higher level of magnesium (30% higher than recommended) in a diet for growing steers containing liquid distillers grains favoured the use of metabolizable energy. Experimental animals had higher live weight gains by 9.7% when compared to control steers.
