The amount of
dietary fat did not affect LW of the steers over the course of
the trial; however, LW was increased at 1.11, 1.20, and 1.20
kg/d in the animals fed PO, PO/LSO, and LSO, respectively
(Table 3). Similarly, Noci et al. (2007) reported that 150 g/d
sunflower oil (SFO) and 150 g/d LSO supplementation did
not affected final LW and average daily gain (ADG). This is
partially because total net energy (Mcal/d) consumption
was balanced by treatment. Furthermore, He and
Armentano (2011) supplemented a mixture of flaxseed oil
and SFO at 5% of diet and reported no significant effects of
supplementation on DMI, body weight, ADG, and gain per
unit feed
