From a growth response
and nutrient utilization standpoint, Sell et al. (1986) reported
that 8 and 12% supplemental tallow or A-V fat
fed from 0 to 8 wks improved BW when compared to
diets containing 0 or 4% of the same fat sources. In the
latter report, there was also a significant linear decrease
in feed conversion with both sources as supplemental
fat was incrementally increased from 4 to 12%.
