Two trials were made aiming to evaluate the effect of different nutritional plans on body and carcass gain, as well as changes in body composition of Nelore cattle. The trial 1 started in July, 2009 and finished in September, 2010, and was divided in three phases. The phases I and II corresponded to the growing phase, and the phase III corresponded to the finishing phase. In phase I the animals were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatments consisting of: a) protein (PRI) or, b) protein and energy (PEI) supplement. The phase II for each of the phase I treatments, the animals were randomly assigned in factorial (2 x 4) to 1 of 4 treatments including: a) mineral salt (MN), b) protein (PRII), c) protein and energy (PEII) and d) energy (EN) supplement. The phase III for each of the phase I and II treatments, the animals were randomly assigned in factorial (2 x 4 x 2) to 1 of 2 treatments: finishing in 1) pasture (PA) or 2) feedlot (FE), in both treatments the animals were fed high concentrate. 129 young Nelore bulls, were 8 ± 2 months of age and BW of 204.6 ± 5.2 kg were utilized. The trial 2 started in July, 2011 and finished in September, 2012, and was divided in three phases as the trial 1. In phase I the animals were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatments consisting of: a) protein (PRI) or, b) protein and energy (PEI) supplement. The phase II for each of the phase I treatments, the animals were randomly assigned in factorial (2 x 2) to 1 of 2 treatments including: a) mineral salt (MN), b) protein and energy supplement (PEII). The phase III for each of the phase I and II treatments, the animals were randomly assigned in factorial (2 x 2 x 2) to 1 of 2 treatments: 1) medium or 2) high feed. 78 young Nelore bulls, were 8 ± 2 months of age and BW of 171.7 ± 6.4 kg were utilized. Measurements of ADG, gain and composition of carcass were made. All the data were analysed as a randomized factorial design using the PROC MIXED of the SAS ...
