Abstract:Distiller grains (DG), which are the by-product from the bioethanol industry, represent an interesting alternative as animal feedstock. To our knowledge, little information is available on the inclusion of DG on the quality of meat from pasture-fed heifers.

For this purpose, meat from heifers fed with a pasture-based diet without suppl… Show more
