Use of creep-feeding for beef calves
O creep-feeding é um sistema utilizado para aumentar o ganho de peso dos bezerros à desmama sem separa-los de sua mãe, por meio da utilização de um cocho privativo, dentro de um cercado, ao qual só o bezerro tem acesso e recebendo suplementação adequada ...

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Effect of limited-creep feeding calves of spring-calving cows grazing native grass
Two limited-creep feeding trials were conducted with spring-born, suckling calves on native grass. The high-energy creep rations containing an ionophore were fed during the last 63 or 85 days before weaning in the two trials.
