Abstract
Thiamin supplementation at 10 mg kg−1 of barley-based all-concentrate diets fed to slow- or fast-gaining 250-kg steers or of diets with 10.9 or 11.8% crude protein did not increase rate of gain. The thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP) effect was lower in supplemented than in non-supplemented steers (P < 0.05), indicating that supplementation increased the thiamin level in the blood. Key words: Steers, thiamin, TPP effect
