| Summary | Eighty-four Charolais crossbred heifers (571.4 ± 5.4 lb) were used to determine the effects of Amaferm supplementation on calf performance when fed high forage grower diets in an 84 day study. Heifers were fed a corn-silage and oat hay based growing ration (63% of diet, DM basis). Total ADG was improved by 5.1% with Amaferm compared to control (p <.02). Feed efficiency was also improved by 6.0% (p <.03). Results indicate that Amaferm has a positive effect on heifer growth when fed with high forage-based growing diets. |
