Abstract
The growth performance of five cattle breedtypes (Drough-master Australian Commercial Cross Kedah- Kelantan Friesian-Sahiwal-Jersey and Friesian-Sahiwal) in a smallholder feedlot was compared. The Droughmaster had significantly better growth rates with average daily gains of 0.75 kg/day as compared to the other breedtypes which had average daily gains between 0.62 to 0.68 kg/day. There were no significant differences between the growth rates of Australian Commercial Cross Friesian-Sahiwal-Jersey and Friesian-Sahiwal. The Kedah- Kelantan had the lowest growth rate of 0.62 kg/day. The Droughmaster and the Friesian-Sahiwal-Jersey exhibited similar carcass dressing percentage (52.2 and 51.2 respectively) and cost per kg gain (M2.14 and M2.13 respectively). The Kedah-Kelantan had the highest cost per kg gain at M3.07. Both beef and dairy cattle were found to be suitable for feedlotting.
