Abstract
The results showed that increasing the level of CLP supplement had not significantly affected on animal body weight and monthly growth rate (weight gain and average daily gain) but increased linearly in the overall period (P<0.05). Increasing the level of CLP supplement also had not significantly affected to intake daily dry matter (DM), nutrients including organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF). Increasing the supplementation levels were significantly increased in ADF digestibility (P<0.05). The nutrient (DM, OM, CP, and NDF) digestibility in the cattle, did not differ significantly. Increasing the level of CLP supplement increased net profit per head (THB) and profit (%) (P<0.05). It is concluded that CLP could be supplemented in concentrate up to 20% as protein soured in Charolais crossbred cattle
