Creep Grazing for Suckling Calves - A Pasture Management Practice
The concept of creep grazing is based on the fact that the nutritional requirements of suckling calves are much higher than those of cows. Calves creep grazing on high quality forage that provides high intake of digestible energy and protein make extra ...

Creep-grazing fall-born calves on winter annual forages. [PDF]
Abstract Providing calves with access to high-quality forage through creep grazing prior to weaning may help improve calf productivity. In this study of fall-calving herds, the productivity of a rotationally stocked forage system with 10% of the pasture area rotated between winter forages for creep grazing and summer forages (CRP) was ...

PSIV-12 Effects of creep-feeding supplementation on growth performance during the rearing and finishing phases of grazing Nellore young bulls [PDF]
Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the effect of creep-feeding on growth performance of beef young bulls (n = 40) when they were subjected to an intensive rearing and finishing system. The experiment lasted 325 d, from May/2022 to April/2023, the calves were born in September/2021 and creep-feeding supplementation lasted 170 d, from ...

Nigropallidal encephalomalacia in horses grazing Rhaponticum repens (creeping knapweed) [PDF]
Nigropallidal encephalomalacia was diagnosed in two horses in northern Victoria that had a history of long‐term pasture access to a dense growth of Rhaponticum repens. The region in which the affected horses lived had received well above average rainfall for several months preceding the poisoning. Affected horses had sudden onset of subcutaneous oedema

Weaning Age of Lambs Creep-Fed While Grazing on Marandu Pasture
This study aimed to examine the weaning age (60 and 90 days) of lambs supplemented while grazing on Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu pasture. Production performance, incidence of worm infections, intoxication, and production cost of lambs, beside that body condition and occurrence of single or twin births in the ewes were evaluated, by two consecutive ...

Effect of Grazing Stubble Height and Season on Establishment, Persistence, and Quality of Creeping Bluestem [PDF]
Creeping bluestem (Schizachyrium stoloniferum) was grazed every 6O-days to 15 or 30-cm stubble heights during the following 4 periods (seasons): (1) June, Aug., Oct. (JAO); (2) Oct., Dec., Feb. (ODF); (3) Feb., Apr., June (FAJ); (4) year-long (YL). Average diameter (37 cm) of piants grnzed in JAO and YL to lS-cm stubble was less (PC 0.05) than piants ...

Summer Legumes for Creep Grazing in Cow-Calf Production on Bermudagrass Pastures
The extensive cow-calf industry in the Gulf Coast Region of the southeastern USA is based on pastures of warm-season perennial grasses, which often provide insufficient forage availability and/or nutritive value in late summer. Several species of summer-growing legumes have potential to increase nutrient availability for nursing calves through creep ...
