Individual free choice creep feed intake by suckling calves on range

A 51-d study was conducted to determine creep feed intake by suckling beef calves (N = 51) on range. Daily mean attendance at the creep feeder was 21 +/- 10.3%, (range 2 to 43%) and mean intake was 1009 +/- 634.4 g calf(-1) d(-1) (range from 67 to 3424 g calf(-1) d(-1)). Creep feed intake and attend...

Zusammenfassung:	A 51-d study was conducted to determine creep feed intake by suckling beef calves (N = 51) on range. Daily mean attendance at the creep feeder was 21 +/- 10.3%, (range 2 to 43%) and mean intake was 1009 +/- 634.4 g calf(-1) d(-1) (range from 67 to 3424 g calf(-1) d(-1)). Creep feed intake and attendance by calves on range may be too variable to be considered an effective method of delivering pharmaceuticals.
