Steers off their food

Have some 22 month steers, housed two weeks ago and gradually building up concentrate. Switched from perm pasture haylage to some very good ryegrass with red clover haylage, about 3 days ago and most aren't eating well at all today, either concentrate or haylage. Give it a few days for rumen to adjust??

6kg rolled barley and 1.5kg sugar beet nuts per day, plus 100g per head mineralised protein (35%) which I am sure I dont need but is there for the yeast etc.
