Increasing Protein Supply to Pregnant Beef Cows When Energy Is Limited Does Not Improve Cow or Calf Performance
Studies have shown that ruminally undegraded protein can improve weight gain and breeding performance but in this case researchers have found that feed supplementation is not warranted as providing ruminally degraded protein at 0.09 per cent of body weight...
