38 Effects of combining nose flap weaning with short-term creep feeding of beef calves on cow and calf performance [PDF]
One hundred four Angus calves were ranked by gender, BW, age, and dam parity, and assigned to 1 of 4 pre-weaning treatments: 1) nose flaps for 7-d prior to weaning (NF), 2) traditional weaning (TRAD), 3) traditional weaning and creep feed for 3-wk ...

Creep Feeding and Weaning Influence the Postnatal Evolution of the Plasma Metabolome in Neonatal Piglets. [PDF]
Data on the evolution of blood metabolites and metabolic markers in neonatal piglets are scarce, although this information is vital to detect physiological aberrations from normal development.

Effect of temporary weaning and creep feeding on calf growth and the reproductive efficiency of their Hereford dams. [PDF]
Objective The objective was to test if creep feeding (CF) improves the average daily gain (ADG) and weaning weight of calves submitted to temporary weaning (TW) and if the combination of CF and TW improves conception and pregnancy rates of cows.

265 Effect of L-glutamine and enzyme supplementation of liquid creep feed from d 8 to 28 of age on pre-weaning growth and health of pigs [PDF]
The provision of liquid creep feed has been shown to increase dry matter intake (DMI) compared with dry creep feeding. The greater DMI associated with liquid feeding means that it could be used as an effective route for feed additive supplementation of

Gruel Creep Feeding Accelerates Growth and Alters Intestinal Health of Young Pigs. [PDF]
Simple Summary The weaning period is one of the most stressful periods in a piglet’s life due to abrupt changes in diet and environment. To mitigate production loss, creep feed is given to piglets to supplement sow’s milk, but the intake of typical dry ...

Use of Castor Bean Meal, Biodiesel Industry Coproduct, in A Lamb Production System Using Creep-Feeding in Brazil. [PDF]
Simple Summary Economically, feed costs are the most expensive variable in the ruminant industry. Therefore, finding an alternative feed resource to decrease these costs is necessary.

Effect of creep feeding pelleted starter diet, liquid milk replacer and a liquid mixture of starter diet and milk replacer to suckling pigs on their growth and medication usage. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of creep-feeding solid starter diet, liquid milk replacer, and a liquid mixture of starter diet and milk replacer to suckling pigs on their growth and medication usage up to target slaughter weight ...

Effects of creep feeding and its interactions with other factors on the performance of meat goat kids and dams when managed on pasture. [PDF]
Creep feeding and its possible interactions with other influential factors (genetics, litter type, and sex) for weaning traits were studied in meat goat kids and their dams. Kids across 3 yr were creep fed (254 kids; 5 pens) or not creep fed (255 kids; 5

Feed intake of the sow and playful creep feeding of piglets influence piglet behaviour and performance before and after weaning. [PDF]
Creep feed intake is variable and may be partly homeostatically and exploratory driven. We studied effects of maternal feed restriction and a ‘play-feeder’ on piglet behaviour and performance.
