Finishing

When finishing cattle aim for a high energy dense diet that is balanced accordingly for protein and digestible fibre to ensure optimum performance within your herd. It is well documented that energy is the most limiting nutrient in finishing diets. In order to counteract this, finishing rations should contain high levels of cereals and legumes such as maize, wheat barley and beans.

Below is a recommended table of concentrate supplementation (kg/day) necessary for steers (600 kg) animals to grow at 1.0 kg/day, when offered grass silage at varying dry matter digestibility (DMD) to appetite.
