[QUOTE="IL cow man, post: 837997, member: 16742"] I'm definitely not an expert, but most of the creep rations discussed are using corn. Corn is high in starch. Creep rations are fed on pasture( I assume). I would look more at feeding a soyhull pellet or a oat type product or any product which has more of a cellulose fiber/energy source. On forage the rumen will be full of cellulosic bacterial digesters instead of starch digesters. I assume, the more you switch the rumen to starch digesters the less benefit you are getting from the forages being fed. The same applies to distillers or gluten being high in starch. [/QUOTE]
