Related to Alzheimer's Disease. Diet Affects Markers of Alzheimer's Disease. June 13, 2011 -- Diets that are low in saturated fat and rich in carbohydrates that steady blood sugar and insulin can beneficially change levels of substances associated with the development of Alzheimerâs disease, a new study shows. Such diets may also improve some measures of memory.
Starting calves on creep feed. Occasionally, getting calves started on creep feed can be a challenge, especially when cows are milking well and pastures are in good condition. Typically, feeding cows small amounts of ground feed a few days prior to starting creep feeding will help calves learn to consume creep.esearch has shown that creep feed conversion can range from 4:1 to 18:1 pounds of feed to a pound of calf gain. However, feed conversions are typically around 4:1 for a limited protein-based feed and 8:1 for an energy-based feed. Table 1 shows the cost of gain at various feed costs and feed conversion rates.
The effects of exposure can be minimized if care is taken to ensure calves nurse soon after birth. In addition, during extremely cold or wet conditions calves may need shelter for the first 24-48 hours of life.Chilled calves should be brought in for warming and assisted in nursing if necessary.ll calves should be checked to see if they have nursed within 2 to 4 hours of birth. Calves that have not nursed should be assisted or tube fed colostrum with a special calf feeder. Calves need 1 to 2 quarts of colostrum.
