| Zusammenfassung: | We examined the effects of feeding a low percentage of distiller's dried grains with solubles (
DDGS
) to yearling Holstein beef steers during the late stage of the fattening period on growth performance and carcass quality. Fifteen animals were fed a total mixed ration (
TMR
) feed plus a
DDGS
supplement equal to 10% of the total feed weight for 3 months (
DDGS
group). The other 15 animals were fed
TMR
with no
DDGS
(Control group). The vitamin E (
VE
) levels in the blood from the
DDGS
group showed a tendency to be higher in the
DDGS
group (
P
= 0.056). Blood urea nitrogen levels in the
DDGS
group were also higher (
