Pasture Supplementation of Beef Cattle Followed by Drylot Finishing with High-concentrate Rations and Antibiotic Supplement

The objectives of the research reported in this thesis were to determine the effects of various levels of pasture grain feeding on pasture weight gains as well as on subsequent gains and feed requirements in drylot. The value of an antibiotic was tested at various levels to determine the effects in rapidly getting cattle on full feed of a high-concentrate ration. The effects of the various levels of the antibiotic were also studied when administered for five consecutive days at monthly intervals throughout the experiment
