Abstract: Three groups of steers mentioned as T₁, T₂ and T₃ were maintained with untreated straw (control), urea molasses straw (UMS) and UMS + wheat bran respectively. The results revealed that feed intake were more in case of T₂ and T₃ than in T₁. Average live weight gain/animal/day were 204.17, 400.0 and 418.75g in case of T₁, T₂ and T₃ treatment groups respectively. Live weight changes in T₂ and T₃ treatment groups differed significantly from 2^nd month to the end of experiment at 1% level. Maximum live weight gain was observed at T₃ treatment group where extra wheat bran was added. Daily live weight gain and selling price were more in the steers of T₃ group but net return was observed maximum in the steers of T₂ group. It may be concluded that combination of UMS and wheat bran had an influencing effect on live weight gain.
