Twenty-four Holstein steers and 23 Holstein bulls (initial body weight = 252 +/- 3.5 kg and age = 187 +/- 7.5 d) were randomly allocated to 4 treatments arranged in a 2 x 2 factorial design with gender (bulls vs steers) and vitamin A supplementation (either restricted at 1.3 x1000 IU/kg, VAR, or supplemented at 4.6x 1000 IU/kg, CTR) to evaluate the effect of vitamin A restriction on performance, carcass and meat quality traits of Holstein steers and bulls.
