Dry matter (DM) intake and liveweight gain of Holstein-Friesian (a and b) and Brahman crossbred (c and d) steers fed high crude protein and high metabolizable energy content (HCP-HME), high CP and low ME content (HCP-LME) and low CP and low ME content (LCP-LME) diets throughout the experiment. The different nutritional treatments were imposed from day 1 until day 103 (Phase 1), after that all steers were fed HCP-HME ad libitum until day 203 (Phase 2). Dashed grey line represents the transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2. Error bars represents standard error of the mean.
