Abstract

This study was investigated on growth performance of Local Yellow Cattle and was used 90 days. The experiment was done at ToneNeuan and Khong Village, Peak District and XiengKuang Province. The objective was evaluate growth rate and economic return. The experimental design was used T-Test there were 2 groups, each group there were 10 heads. Each group were used fresh grasses (Nepeir, Ruzi, Guatemala and natural grass) feed was given of 15% on Live weight gain on fresh basic, but in the second group was supplemented with (corn 50% + rice bran 30% and soybean meal 20%) and was given 1kg/head/day and supplemented with mineral box.

And first group of 233g/day. From this studies on growth performance of Local Yellow Cattle, the growth rate of Cattle were supplemented with corn, rice bran and soybean meal plus mineral box was higher than non-supplementation.
