Effect of Vitamin C on Performance and Antioxidant Capacity of Cattle Fed Varying Concentrations of Dietary Sulfur

Authors: Danielle Pogge (Iowa State University) , Stephanie L. Hansen (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Limited research is available concerning the effects of feeding supplemental vitamin C (VC) to feedlot cattle. This study concluded that supplementation of VC to cattle receiving a high S diet improved the marbling scores of these steers, which may be related to the greater plasma VC measured in these cattle.
