Gribanov, V.I. (Cattle-Breeding Research Inst., Jodino (Belarus))
Two scientific and commercial experiments were conducted in the collective farm "Urechsky" (Luban district, Minsk region), specializing in beef production. The experiments studied in influence of higher levels of magnesium in steers' rations, containing 30% and 56% distillers grain, on physiological state and growth rates. It has been stated that increasing the magnesium content of the standard norms by 23% and 32% had a beneficial effect on digestibility and nutrients absorption, increased the growth rate by 9,0% and 7,0% as well as reduced feedstuff costs by 8,8% and 7,4%
