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

Short- But Not Long-Term Effects of Creep Feeding Provided to Suckling Piglets [PDF]
AnimalsFifty-eight litters (16 from primiparous gilts and 42 from multiparous sows) were used, with a total number of 750 piglets involved in the study. Birth weight was stratified into three groups: low (1.62 kg; HBW).

Relationship between creep feeding intake and piglet’s performance in the nursery phase [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023 The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of creep feeding during the pre-weaning stage on the performance of piglets at nursery phase, as well as to estimate the economic viability of its application. A total of 125 piglets were exposed to

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

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 2007 The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of different creep feeder designs and increased feed accessibility on creep feed consumption and pre-weaning performance. A total of 54 sows (PIC Line 1050) and their litters were used in this study. Two groups of sows were blocked according to parity and date of farrowing using a randomized

PSVI-22 Effect of Creep-Feeding on Feeding Behavior of Nellore Calves [PDF]
J Anim Sci, 2023 Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the effect of creep-feeding on feeding behavior of beef calves, during nursing phase. The experiment lasted 170 days; from December/2021 to May/2022, the calves were born in September/2021 and creep-feeding supplementation started from approximately 70 days of life until weaning.
