An experiment was carried out to compare the performance of Grade Ongole (GO) and its crossing with Limousin (GL) bulls fed King Grass and brewery by-product. Four GO (weighed: 198.50 ± 38.04 kg) and four GL bulls (weighed: 248.84 ± 36,39 kg) were fed king grass and brewery by-product with ratio of 50:50. The amount of dry matter given was 3% of live weight. The parameters measured were feed intake, feed digestibility, liveweight gain (LWG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The Results the two breed were not significantly different (P>0.05) in parameters measured. Dry matter intakes of GO and GL were 2,59 and 2.52% of body weight, respectively. The dry matter disgestibilities were 50.98 in GO and 45.74 in GL. Liveweight gains of GO and GL were 0.74 and 0.88 kg/day, respectively. Feed conversion ratios in GO and GL were 8.49, respectively. It was concluded that GO and GL bulls had similar production performance.
