Figure 2.

Body weight of feedlot cattle supplemented with an immunomodulatory feed ingredient (SUPP; n = 8) or not (CON; n = 8) during a 106-d finishing period. Values were recorded prior to the first feeding of the day. Growth rate of each animal was modeled by linear regression of body weight against sampling days, and each regression coefficient was used as individual response. No treatment differences (P ≥ 0.27) in growth rate (1.23 vs. 1.20 kg/day for CON and SUPP, respectively; SEM = 0.02) or body weight were noted.
