Abstract

Thirty-two steers, fourteen months old and average initial weigh 345 kg were used. Forage production, quality and animal performance were evaluated in a four hectare area of coastcross pasture during wet season. Steers were supplemented with two energy sources: soybean hulls (SH) and oat grains (OG). Animals were allotted in four treatments: without supplement (WS), 0.6% of body weight (BW) with OG, 0.6% of BW with SH; and 0.3% of BW with soybean hulls + 0.3% of BW with oat grain (OGSH) on dry matter basis. There was (p < 0.05) a decrease in forage mass, leaf blade and forage offer resulting in decrease in average live weight gain (ALWG) and in gain per hectare with advance of trial seasons. There was no supplement effect (p > 0.05) on average daily gain (ADG) that ranged from 0.667 (WS) and 0.840 kg/day (SH)
