CONI = concentrate intake; PASC = pasture intake; DMC = dry matter intake; LW = live weight; OMI = organic matter intake; CPC = crude protein intake; NDFC = neutral detergent fiber intake; NFCC = non-fiber carbohydrate intake; SEM = standard error of the means; F = frequency; S = sex. ^a Means followed by different small letters on the same row statistically differ for supplementation frequency; ^A,B means followed by different capital letters on the same row statistically differ for sex.
