Effect of genotype on the protein and energy requirements of growing cattle

  • 1. Universita di Udine (Italy). Istituto di Produzione Animale

Description

The effect of energy and protein intake on energy retention and lean production in cattle is discussed. The differences between genotypes in body gain, protein and fat retention are summarized. Interactions between some breeds and diets are described in order to assess the energy retention and daily gain efficiency. For a reliable comparison between breed, sex and feeding regimes it is necessary to refer to age at puberty. The possibility of extending the main energy and protein systems to other breeds and genotypes is also investigated. (author)
