ABSTRACT

An investigation was conducted to evaluate the management effect of feeding triticale on the
performance of crossbred feedlot cattle. Steers were weighed at fortnightly intervals until 83
days. Steers were weighed at 0700hr and fed upon (7 animals/treatment) at weighing on d 0, 20,
40, and 83 of the trial. Measurements were made of daily feed intake, average daily gain, body
weight gain and feed / gain ratio. The animals were allocated by randomized block design on the
basis of live weight to one of three dietary high concentrates rations of triticale, corn and wheat
grain for crossbred feedlot cattle. Average daily gains of steers fed triticale, corn and wheat
were1.14, 1.39 and 1.28 kg, respectively, and were significantly different (P
