Utilization of exogenous enzymes in beef cattle creep feeds

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2020
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the inclusion of feed enzymes into beef cattle creep feeds. In the first one, the following treatments were tested in vitro: (1) 100% bermudagrass (GRASS); (2) a mixture of 75% bermudagrass and 25% creep feed ...

Different protocols for piglet creep feeding in the farrowing stage and residual effects in the nursery phase

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
This study was aimed at the effects of different Creep-feeding protocols on piglet performance and its residual effects during the nursery phase. Experimental design used was five groups: WC (without creep); DCF (dry creep feeding); WCF (wet creep ...

Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality

Animal, 2010
This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Providing Live Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) to Ease the Weaning Transition of Piglets

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Weaning is a stressful event for piglets, involving substantial changes to their nutritional and social environment. Providing edible enrichment around weaning may ease the weaning transition by increasing pre-weaning feed intake and improving post ...

Addition of chromic oxide to creep feed as a fecal marker for selection of creep feed–eating suckling pigs

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2007
Abstract Objective—To determine whether the addition of chromic oxide (Cr2O3) to creep feed could be used as a visual marker in feces for selection of creep feed–eating suckling pigs. Animals—20 suckling pigs. Procedures—Via syringe, 5 pigs (2 to 3 days old on day 0; 1 pig/treatment) from each of 4 litters received oral administrations of 10, 20, 30 ...

Insights into suckling rabbit feeding behaviour: acceptability of different creep feed presentations and attractiveness for sensory feed additives

Animal, 2020
In young rabbit, digestive disorders are frequently observed around weaning. Stimulating the onset of feed intake in the suckling rabbit might be a way to promote gut health. The aim of this study was to determine the rabbit’s acceptability for different

Feed intake behaviour of piglets in single and group suckling pens

Landbauforschung, 2021
Early contact to plant-based feed (creep feed) should stimu- late the adaption of the gastrointestinal system and promote gut development, with the desired effect of less physiological stress at weaning, lower incidence of diarrhoea and high- er growth ...

Peculiarities in the Amino Acid Composition of Sow Colostrum and Milk, and Their Potential Relevance to Piglet Development

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
The composition of mother’s milk is considered the ideal diet for neonates. This study investigated how conserved or variable the amino acid profile of sow colostrum and milk is throughout lactation, compared with other studies in sows and other species.
