Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Mon, 07/29/2024 - 22:38In beef cattle breeding, it is necessary to identify and widely use animals characterized by high rates of nutrient utilization in the diet for the synthesis of meat products. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of digestion of nutrients in the diet of purebred bull calves of the breeds Simmental (group I) and Limousine (group II) and their crossbreeds of the first (½ Simmental × ½ Limousine – group III), the second (¼ Simmental × ¾ Limousine – group IV) and the third (1/8 Simmental × 7/8 Limousine – V group) generations.
