Twenty five growing crossbred bulls (Bos indicus×Bos taurus) were used in a randomised block design experiment for 196 days to determine the effect of grainless concentrate containing different supplemental nitrogen sources along with wheat straw based diet on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, plane of nutrition and daily live weight gain. The animals in control group received barley 30% in the concentrate mixture (Cm1) as a source of grain, where as other concentrate mixtures contained only wheat bran (Cm2) or wheat bran supplemented with 2.5% urea (Cm3), 21.5% groundnut oil cake (Cm4) or 27% mustard oil cake (Cm5) as source of supplemental nitrogen. Fortnightly live weight gain was recorded and a metabolism trial of 6 days duration was conducted after 120 days of feeding trial in order to assess nutrient utilisation and retention as well as plane of nutrition.
The mean dry matter (DM) intake and digestibility of the nutrients except crude protein (CP) were similar in all the groups. CP digestibility was significantly higher (P
