A Farm Practice entitled "The Technology of Feeding Rice Bran-Cassava Roots with Molasses for fattening Cattle," an approach to utilize locally avail-able energy source farm products thus improving the system of fattening cattle was conducted at the Don Severino Agricultural College from November 1985 to February 1986. A two and a half year old steer was used in the conduct of this farm practice project. The initial body weight of 122 kgs and final body weight of 174 kgs was taken with the use of tape measure using the formula. HG2 x Length 300 Feeds were provided in three ways, grazing early in the morning, feedlot feeding after two to three hours in the pasture, and force feeding in the afternoon. Feedlot feeds constituted mostly of napier grass and centrosema. While shredded cassava roots, rice bran fortified with molasses was force-fed as slop feeds. A fattened cattle was able to attain a gain in weight of 52 kg in three months feeding. Bathing the animal during the entire fattening period increased its energy feed intake and kept it active and vigorous. Out of this performance, a net monetary benefit of 0488.00 was realized from total sales of 04,409.50 and a total expense of 03,921.50.
