The objective of study was to evaluate the effects of replacement different levels of corn grain with sorghum grain on production performance and blood parameter in Jinnan beef cattle.Fourty-eight Jinnan beef catdes were assigned to four groups in a complete randomized design.The four treatments were control (basal diet),T1,T2 and T3 with sorghum grain replacing 33％,66％ and 100％ corn grain in basal diet.The results showed that dry matter intake was not affected by the replacement different levels of corn grain with sorghum grain (P＞0.05).Average daily gain and feed conversion rate in T3 were significantly lower than that in control,T1 and T2 (P＜0.05).By the end of the study,the concentrations of serum glucose in T2 and T3 were significantly lower than that in control and T1 (P＜0.05).While blood concentrations of albumin,total protein,urine nitrogen and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase in T2 and T3 were significantly higher than that in control and T1 (P＜0.05).The benefit in T3 was significantly lower than that in other groups (P＜0.05).In conclusion,sorghum grain could replace 66％ corn grain in Jinnan cattle diet.
