Creep feeding calves is the practice of providing supplemental nourishment to nursing calves. Kent and University research has shown that weaning weights of calves can be significantly greater when creep fed. The type of creep feed used also has a substantial effect on calf performance and the economics of creep feeding.

A 16% pelleted formula with highly digestible fiber and PNP sources. For superior performance and feed efficiency.
Also referred to as bypass protein, allows calves to reach their genetic potential by supplying more amino acids for absorption in the lower intestinal tract. This enables the calf to produce lean muscle growth.
Guaranteed Analysis | Feeding Directions
Feed continuously to provide 60 mg to 200 mg of Bovatec per head per day to calves nursing cows on pasture. This amount is equivalent to 2 to 6.7 pounds of PNP Creep Supreme 60B.
Do not allow horses or other equines access to feeds containing Bovatec as ingestion may be fatal. The safety of Bovatec in unapproved species has not been established. Feeding undiluted or mixing errors resulting in excessive concentrations of Bovatec could be fatal to cattle.
A withdrawal period has not been established for this product in pre-ruminating cattle. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.
