Benefits
14% all-natural protein Use with average to high quality forage to optimize lean gain on calves
Balanced calcium to phosphorus ratio, added salt, trace minerals and vitamins- Provides essential nutrients to support the development of a health immune system. Fortified with vitamins and minerals to optimize lean gain in young growing cattle
Helps fill the “hungry calf gap” created as the cow’s milk production and forage quality typically decline later in the season and the calf nutrient requirements increase- Purina research shows creep feeding could provide an
additional 56-86 pounds of weight gain
Feeding Directions
Feed free choice to pre-weaned calves in creep feeders along with unlimited quantities of forage. Feed intake will vary depending on the size and age of the calf and forage quality. Optimum intake is 4 to 6 pounds per head daily. If hand-fed offer 1% of body weight daily. It is not a complete feed. Maximum intake is 8.25 lb per head per day. Always provide adequate amounts of forage and fresh, clean water. When using a creep feeder, adjust the feeder slide gate to control feed accumulations at the trough. Troughs should be well protected and managed to prevent accumulation of fines, wet or moldy feed.
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death
IMPORTANT:
1. Do not put an empty feeder in the pasture. Calves will check the empty feeder and ignore it later when filled.
2. Place feeders close to cow loafing areas initially (near water and/or shade and mineral feeders).
3. Make sure the feeder is in working order.
4. Do not let creep feeders go empty or accumulate fi nes. is can predispose calves to digestive problems.
5. To control consumption and improve grazing distribution in late summer, move creep feeders away from water and shade.
6. Clean wet feed from creep feeder tray after rain.
7. Helps calves adjust to weaning stress and start on feed more quickly helping reduce sickness and death loss.
8. Appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals for growth, maintenance and to support immune response.
9. Efficient gains can be realized when daily intakes are 1% or less of body weight (5 pounds per day for 5-weight calf )
10. Improved feed utilization and average daily gains through the use of feed additives.
