It all depends on what feed is being fed to that steer, as in what feed is available, what the ratio of forage to grain is for that steer, and the steer's breeding and genetics. Some breeds or crossbreeds of steers will require less feed to achieve a pound of gain than other breeds or crossbreeds. For instance, an Angus steer will gain a pound on less feed than a Simmental steer.
It will depend on quality of ingredients, the percentage of fat and so on, but most formulated cattle feeds will produce 1 pound of gain from 5.5 to 9 pounds of feed.
For such a general question, it requires a general answer: It depends on the steer and the type of feed corn being used to feed that steer. There is some sort of general "rule of thumb" out there that it takes around 9 lbs of grain to get one pound of beef, but that is pretty ambiguous. It takes more pounds of corn to get a pound of gain on a Holstein steer than it would on an Angus steer, for instance. Also, cracked corn will get a steer to gain more weight than whole corn will.
rate of gain is weight gained per pound of feed fed to the animal per day- usually measured in pounds-you might want to double check this on a reliable site
Corn is high in energy and protein which helps the steer gain weight faster. Feed that is higher in energy than a cow needs for maintenance stores this as fat. This is what helps steers gain weight quickly and is also what is commonly called as "fattening."
8 pounds = 8 x 454 grams = 3632 grams = 3.632 kilograms
carry a 5 pound weight.
The feed-to-gain ratio for goats typically ranges from 4:1 to 8:1, meaning that for every 4 to 8 pounds of feed consumed, goats will gain 1 pound of body weight. This ratio can vary based on factors such as the goat's breed, age, sex, and overall health, as well as the quality of the feed provided. Efficient management and optimal feeding practices can help improve this ratio.
2nd law of thermodynamics
1 pound of fat will make you gain 1 pound. No matter what you eat you gain the wait of what you eat for that moment. You can eat .5 pounds of anything and gain more the .5 pounds. However over a day you can burn more. Other words you could eat 1 pound of fat and by tommarow only weigh .5 pounds more. It depends on your matablism and exersice/activity
4 pounds. 1 pound per month.
Producers shoot for 3lb of gain per day in the feed lot
of course it all depends on exercise and diet. You can gain up to 3 pounds a day if you are not care full
