Abstract
Wine production within the EEC has been increasing continuously over the past decade,creating a surplus which has been handled either by storage as wine or concentrated grape Juice, or by the distillation of wine to higher strength alcohol. As a possible alternative outlet, it has been proposed that grape juice concentrate (GJC) be used as a component of animal feed systems.The dry matter (DM) of GJC averages 630 g/kg, with a sugar content of 920 g/kg DM of which approximately equal proportions are fructose and glucose. The protein content averages only 10g/kgDMTo investigate the feasibility of utilising GJC in the diet of beef cattle a production trial tas planned, using information on voluntary intakes of GJC and total dry matter intakes (DMI) obtained in a preliminary cattle feeding study.
