LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT
Creep feeding is a practice
surrounded with a great deal of
controversy and misunderstanding.
The controversy comes from the
fact that many people say it is not
economical to creep feed. Well,
that depends on the type of animal
being fed and the type of creep
being provided.
The misunderstanding results in
when exactly is a creep feed or a
creep ration used with young
animals.
Generally speaking, a creep
ration is feed to an animal starting
as a pre-weaning diet. According to
test results weight can be put on a
young animal more efficiently
through a creep ration than
through its mother's milk. That is
especially important close to wean
ing.
Bv then the amount ol nutrients
taken in by the young animal from
its mother is less than needed. So
the young animal needs some
supplemental source of energy and
nutrients if it is to reach its
potential. That is where a creep
ration comes in.
Such a ration has several im
portant characteristics. First, it
must taste good. Usually molasses
is added to most creep rations for
that purpose. Second, it should be
very high in amino acid and energy
content. These factors are im
portant to the young growing
animal. .
They provide a big part of the
materials needed for growth, which
at that time are lacking in its
mother's milk. Finally, the third
important characteristic is that the
ration be very digestible. That is
because young animals have very
small gut capacities and cannot
break-down very fibrous or com
lex feeds. .
Creep feeding is practiced with
cattle, swine, and horses in this
area. Swine and horses usually are
given a concentrate creep teed.
Cattle are usually given corn as a
creep ration. A practice recently
being adopted by some cattle
producers is pasture creeping. In it
calves are provided access to a high
qualitv forage crop. I hat torage
crop serves as their creep teed.
In closing I would like to say that
creep feeding is a tool available to
producers. The decision to creep
feed or not depends on the pro
ducer and his or her operation. In
making that decision the producer
must weigh many factors, a couple
of which I've touched on here. Only
then can a rational decision be
made.

BEES AND PESTICIDES
Recent legislation by the General
Assembly has meant changes in the
North Carolina Pesticide Law. The
major changes in the law dealt with
responsibility of notification of
beekeepers with registered apiaries
and the time in which the bee
keeper must be notified.
Under the amended law aerial
applicators and the person who
contracts lor the aerial application
are responsible for notifying bee
keepers who have a registered
apiary within one-half mile of an
area to be sprayed with bee-toxic
pesticides. That notification must
be given by phone, mail, or in
person no more than 10 days and
no less than 24 hours before the
pesticide is applied.
It is especially important that
beekeepers note that only apiaries
registered with the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture are
covered by the law .

Thursday, May 6, 1982
Read 2 Corinthians 5: 19-6:7
A friend whom I loved designed
bridges, a vocation to which he
devoted himself with single-minded
intensity. For one such effort, he
was mentioned in a prestigious
publication, a sort of "who's who in
bridge-builders." My friend died
last year. Because I miss him so. he
came to mind at once when, while
traveling recently. I crossed a
beautiful bridge.
I couldn't help thinking how we
all can design bridges to span the
needs in human relationships. In a
world made small by technology,
the human condition is essentially
unchanged. We who call ourselves
Christians have an unsurpassed
opportunity? no. an obligation-to
design bridges of empathy, con
cern, love, and unselfish sharing to
members of God's family both far
and near. If we devoted ourselves
unreservedly to that task, God's
record of who's who in bridge
builders would be large indeed.
And the peace on earth that God
promised could become a glorious
reality!
PRAYER: O God. mender of
broken relationships, show us how
to be agents of Your reconciliation.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
People are lonely because we
build walls instead of bridges.
