Their ration was then changed to 50 per cent hay and 50 per cent concentrate for the remainder of the period. At the end of the test the average daily gain and feed conversion was only slightly below that obtained in the previous beef bull testing program when the animals were fed 30 per cent hay and 70 per cent concentrate during the whole feeding period. The following table shows the final average weight, the average daily gain and the average feed conversion for the 11 breeds on test.
