Changes in the skin characteristics of Nellore steers during the rearing phase in hot climate pasture supplemented with protein sources

Abstract We hypothesized that the protein source in supplements and the insolation and ambient temperature changes in different seasons could cause changes in the skin of Nellore steers during the rearing phase on warm-climate pasture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of repla...
