Resumo: One hundred twenty Angus × Simmental steers [322 ± 4.8 kg initial body weight (BW)] were blocked by BW and randomly allocated to 4 treatments arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial to evaluate the effects of supplemental arginine (none or 63 g/d of a 15.6% metabolizable arginine), supplemental lysine (none or 40 g/d of a 25% metabolizable lysine), and their interaction on performance and carcass composition of feedlot steers during a 170-d feeding period. The basal diet [dry matter (DM) basis] contained 52% dry-rolled corn, 22% dried distillers grains with solubles, 20% corn silage, and 6% vitamin-mineral supplement. Lysine balance was estimated to be −10.3 to −10.8 g for diets that did not contain supplemental lysine, and arginine supply was estimated to be +9.7 g for diets that did not contain supplemental arginine during period 1 (days 0 to 87). Lysine and arginine supplies met or exceeded requirements in period 2 (days 88 to 170). Rumen-protected arginine and lysine were top dressed daily until slaughter at a common BW (622 ± 5.5 kg). Data were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS. Body weight, average daily gain, and DM intake were not affected (P ≥ 0.14) by arginine or lysine supplementation. However, lysine increased gain:feed (P = 0.05) during period 1. Lysine decreased serum urea nitrogen (P = 0.03) on day 87, increased (P = 0.01) longissimus muscle (LM) area, decreased (P ≤ 0.01) fat thickness and yield grade, and tended (P = 0.06) to increase moisture content of LM steaks. There tended to be an interaction for moisture content of steaks (P = 0.09), where arginine supplementation increased moisture content to a greater extent in steaks from cattle supplemented with lysine compared with steaks from cattle not fed supplemental lysine. Arginine tended to increase the proportion of Choice grade carcasses (P = 0.09) but did not change lipid content of steaks (P = 0.59). Arginine tended to decrease serum glutamate (P = 0.09) and lysine (P = 0.07) after 87 d of feeding. In conclusion, supplemental rumen-protected arginine and lysine did not improve performance, but lysine can increase carcass muscle and leanness, and although arginine did not increase lipid content of steaks, it may favorably shift carcasses to a greater quality grade.
