Evaluación del tejido adiposo de toretes en pastoreo finalizados con ensilado de caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum L.)
Buscando alternativas de alimentación que permitan reducir la pigmentación amarilla de la grasa en la canal del ganado bovino, se realizó un experimento con toretes finalizados en pastoreo, en el cual se evaluó el efecto de suplementación con ensilado de caña de azúcar (EC) en la digestibilidad, comportamiento productivo y color de la grasa en la canal.
