. 2009. Performance and carcass characteristics of steers fed a low acid-detergent lignin hull, high-oil groat oat in growing and finishing diets. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 89: 521Á530. Two trials were conducted to evaluate the performance and carcass traits of steers fed a low aciddetergent lignin hull, high-oil groat (LLH-HOG) oat in cattle diets. In trial 1, 400 steers (275.4920.8 kg) were fed one of two diets with barley or LLH-HOG oat at 37.8% of the diet (DM basis). Dry matter intake (DMI) was lower (P00.02) (7.49 vs. 7.72 kg d( (1 , respectively). Ultrasound fat and longissimus dorsi (l. dorsi) area, carcass weight and dressing percentage were lower (PB 0.01) for steers fed the oat diet. Stearic acid content of the l. dorsi of oat-fed cattle was greater (PB0.01) than barley-or corn-fed cattle. The ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids in the muscle of oat-and corn-fed cattle was greater (P00.01) than that of barley-fed cattle. Results indicate that the energy value of the LLH-HOG oat is equivalent or superior to that of barley for growing cattle; however, research is required to identify why feed intake of finishing cattle fed this grain source is reduced. Mcal par kg) e´taient supe´rieures pour la ration renfermant de l'avoine. Lors du deuxie`me essai, 240 bouvillons (341,7918,1 kg) ont rec¸u une de trois rations contenant 88,2 % d'orge, de maı¨s ou d'avoine, 5,1 % d'ensilage d'orge et 6,7 % de supple´ment (selon la matie`re se`che). Durant la finition, les bouvillons nourris avec de l'avoine avaient un gain quotidien moyen plus faible (PB0,01) que celui des animaux nourris avec de l'orge ou du maı¨s (1,40, 1,69 et 1,84 kg par jour, respectivement), signe qu'ils inge´raient moins de matie`re se`che (PB0,01) (9,56, 10,84 et 11,56 kg par jour, respectivement). L'e´paisseur du gras et la superficie du l. dorsi mesure´es aux ultrasons, le poids de la carcasse et la proportion de parage e´taient plus faibles (PB0,01) chez les bouvillons nourris d'avoine. La teneur en acide ste´arique du l. dorsi e´tait plus e´leve´e (PB0,01) chez les sujets recevant de l'avoine que chez ceux nourris d'orge ou de maı¨s. Le rapport entre les acides gras polyinsature´s et sature´s dans les muscles des animaux engraisse´s a`l'avoine et au maı¨s e´tait plus e´leve´(P 00,01) que chez les bouvillons nourris d'orge. Ces re´sultats indiquent que l'avoine LLH-HOG a une valeur e´nerge´tique e´quivalente ou supe´rieure a`celle de l'orge pour les bovins en croissance, mais il faudrait entreprendre d'autres recherches afin d'e´tablir pourquoi les animaux consomment moins de cet aliment durant la finition.
