Growth performance and N excretion of double muscled Piemontese bulls fed low protein rations with or without the addition of rumen protected conjugated linoleic acid

Growth performance and N excretion of double muscled Piemontese (DMP) bulls were investigated. Forty-eight DMP bulls (LW 279 kg), divided in 4 groups, housed in 12 pens, were fed 2 rations (TMR) differing for crude protein density (diets HP: CP=14.7% DM; diets LP: CP=11.0% DM) and top dressed with 8...
