This study was carried out to find out the optimum level of concentrates to be allowed for the fattening Korean native bulls. Twenty five bulls were used for this trials at Yesan, Chungnam province for 7 months from July. 1976 to February, 1977. Rughages were fed ad libitum and concentrates was allowed at the levels of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% on body weight. The results obtained from this study were as follows: 1. The final weight of fattened bulls were 303.4, 361.2, 398.5, 422.3 and 456.0㎏ by the different levels of concentrates as 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% of body weight, respectively. The finished body weights were significantly different from the different level of concentrates (P$lt;0.01). 2. The amount of DCP required for 1㎏ of body gain were 0.94, 0.73, 0.80, 0.87 and 0.85㎏ with the concentrates levels of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%, respectively. The amount of TDN required for 1㎏ of body gain were 12.40, 7.15, 7.23, 8.27 and 7.20㎏, respectively, in order of concentrates levels to be allowed. There was a tendency that feeds efficiency was the highest at the 0.5% of concentrates level among the different levels of concentrates to be fed. 3. The chilled carcass percentages were 52.4, 54.7, 57.1, 59.2 and 60.2% respectively with the levels of concentrates to be fed as 0, 0.5 10, 1 1.5 and 2.0% on live weights. The chilled carcass percentages were increased by the high levels of concentrates to be allowed.
