For Brahman or Santa Gertrudis crosses (tropical breeds), a medium to high roughage diet may be adequate. For animals raised on the range from weaning to 18 months, a daily live weight gain of 0.3 kg has been reported (Animal production and range research unit 1988) and this will probably decline as the animals mature.
Average Daily Gain. Generally speaking, the average daily gain of cattle would be less on a high roughage diet compared to a low roughage diet. The high roughage diet example provides sufficient calories for 1 lb/day gain; whereas, the low roughage diet example provides enough calories for 2.5 lb/day gain. Feed Conversion.
