The present work was conducted in order to evalueta the filter cake of sugar industry as a meal component (roughage ingredient) for feedlot cattle. Four rations were tested with the following filter cake percentages: A = 50%, B = 35%, C = 45% and D = 40%. The average daily gains during the 112 days of trial were: A = 0.854kg, B = 0.864kg, C = 0.757kg and D = 0.880kg. The filter cake can be used for finishing cattle in feedlot systems within the limits considered in this study.
