. 1999. Growth response of pastured Simmental calves to a high by-pass protein creep supplement. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 79: 557-560. One hundred and thirty-seven cow-calf pairs on pasture in southeastern Alberta, were randomly allocated to one of two treatments no supplement (NOS) or a high by-pass protein (70% of CP) creep supplement (HPS) at an intake of 1.5 kg head -1 d -1 . Calf weaning weights and pre-weaning ADG were higher (P < 0.01) in calves fed HPS (306.0 kg and 1.49 kg d -1 ) compared with NOS (298.2 kg and 1.41 kg d -1 ), respectively. However, it was uneconomical to feed this high by-pass creep as the feed cost of a kg of additional gain at weaning was $9.60. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 79: 557-560. Cent trente-sept veaux sous la mère élevés au pâturage (sud-est de l'Alberta) ont été affectés au hasard à l'un ou l'autre des traitements suivants : sans complément protéique (scp) ou avec complément à haute teneur en protéine non dégradable dans le rumen (chp 70 % de la PB) à raison de 1,5 kg par jour chacun. Le GMQ jusqu'au sevrage et le poids au sevrage étaient plus importants (P < 0,01) chez les veaux recevant le complément, soit respectivement 1,49 et 306 kg j -1 que chez les veaux témoins : 1,41 et 298,2 kg j -1 . La complémentation n'était cependant pas rentable puisqu'il en coûtait 9,60 $ en aliment par kilo de gain supplémentaire.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
