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.
(See Agnote DAI-15 Feeding calves in drought-June 1999) Calf age at weaning Calves are generally weaned between 8-10 months of age. The actual age depends on several factors: Feed availability-cows can continue lactation without losing condition in good years, but early weaning should be considered in drier years.f not, early weaning is an option if the calves are fed to achieve the required weight gain After weaning, cattle destined for feedlots requiring marbling should be grown at a moderate rate - 0.6-0.8kg/day-to achieve the required feedlot entry weights.
