During 140 experimental days, ground pelleted citrus pulp replaced ground corn ears in rations for fattening cattle. Ration A, contained no citrus pulp and 30% ground corn ears; rations B, contained 15% from each of them and ration C, contained 30% citrus pulp and no ground corn ears. Average daily gains were-. A = .792 kg; B = .957 kg and C = .992 kg. Feed conversions were: A = 12.590 : 1; B = 11.626 : 1 and C = 111.232 : 1. Weight gains data underwent statistical analysis followed by Duncans procedure which declared treatments B and C greater than treatment A. but equal between themselves. These results suggest that dried, citrus pulp is a good replacer for ground corn ears in rations for fattening cattle.
