Abstract

Thirty six young Nelore bulls were divided in three groups and fed rations containing: A) no chicken litter; B) 1.5kg chicken litter; C) 3.0kg chicken litter/head/day, plus sorghum silage, cottonseed oil meal and ground ear com. Average daily weight gains were around 0.9kg for the three treatments. The chiken litter was based on peanut hulls. There were highly significant differences among treatments for feed consumption.
