Crude protein concentration in feedlot cattle growth performance, carcass merit, and nitrogen status of long-fed feedlot steers in response to dietary protein concentrations: a comparison of industry-average and reduced protein diets

Pittaluga AM, Relling AE 2026 Translational animal science

Abstract

Angus × SimAngus-crossbred steers ( n = 93; body weight [BW] = 342 ± 29 kg) were used in a randomized complete block design to examine the effect of feeding finishing diets with crude protein (CP) contents similar or below industry averages on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and plasma urea nitrogen…
