Twenty Bunaji bulls of average weight 110.5kg between 1-2 years of age were used in a feeding trial which lasted 90 days. The bulls were randomly allotted to four treatment groups in which GS replaced Cotton Seed Cake (CSC) at 25, 50 and 75% w/w in a Completely Randomized Design consisting of five animals per treatment.
