Effect of Total Mixed Ration on Growth Performance, Rumen Fermentation, Nutrient Digestion, and Rumen Microbiome in Angus Beef Cattle during the Growing and Fattening Phases

This study investigates the impact of varying concentrate levels in the diets of Angus beef cattle on their performance, nutrient digestion, and metabolism during the growth (7 to 12 months) and fattening (13 to 30 months) phases. Fifteen Angus steers were continuously fed and divided into low-conce...
