For Brahman or Santa Gertrudis crosses (tropical breeds), a medium to high roughage diet may be adequate. For animals raised on the range from weaning to 18 months, a daily live weight gain of 0.3 kg has been reported (Animal production and range research unit 1988) and this will probably decline as the animals mature.
Depending on these variables, creep fed calves can be expected to gain from 2 to 45 kg (5-100 lb) more before weaning than non-creep fed calves. Under most pasture conditions, the average increase in weaning weight is 18 kg (40 lb) - with 10 to 27 kg (25-60 lb) being common.Calves sucking good milking dams on good pasture will gain little from creep feeding, but if milk and/or pasture are poor, weaning weights can be substantially improved by creep feeding.nder most pasture conditions, the average increase in weaning weight is 18 kg (40 lb) - with 10 to 27 kg (25-60 lb) being common.
