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.
Creep feeding can add 11-22 kg (25-50 lb.) of weight to a calf at weaning. It takes 7-10 kg (15-22 lb.) of calf starter or creep feed for each additional kilogram (2.2 lb.) of weight gain. Creep feeding is most effective when the calf is 3-4 months old, particularly if the calves are eating poor quality forage.rass-fed cattle grow more slowly than grain-fed cattle, and are often marketed when 2-4 years old. Grain supplements can increase the growth rate, allowing cattle to be marketed earlier. Nevertheless, organic beef producers focus on forage and use grain sparingly.
