Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Effects of Creep

Effects of Creep

Creep in concrete, the gradual deformation under prolonged stress, significantly impacts the integrity of structures. For reinforced concrete beams, it can be a vital design consideration, as it increases deflection, sometimes necessitating additional design measures. In columns, especially slender ones under eccentric loads, creep can cause buckling, compromising their stability. However, creep can be beneficial in indeterminate structures by mitigating stresses that arise from shrinkage,...

Factors Affecting Creep

Factors Affecting Creep

In normal-weight aggregate concrete, the hardened cement paste is the primary contributor to creep, whereas the aggregates, being stiffer than the cement paste, are more resilient to stress-induced deformation. The stiffness of the aggregates is defined by their modulus of elasticity, and the more voluminous they are in the concrete, the less it will creep.
Further, the water/cement ratio is critical, as a lower ratio increases concrete strength, thus reducing creep. The strength of the...

Creep in Concrete

Creep in Concrete

Creep refers to the time-dependent increase in strain under a sustained load, excluding other time-dependent deformations associated with shrinkage, swelling, and thermal expansion in concrete. The primary mechanism behind creep involves the loss of physically adsorbed water from the calcium silicate hydrate within the hydrated cement paste. This process is further exacerbated by concrete's non-linear stress-strain relationship, microcrack development in the interfacial transition zone, and...

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Chronic Kidney Disease IV: Nursing Management

Chronic Kidney Disease IV: Nursing Management

Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of fluid...

Summary

Creep feeding can improve calf weaning weights and feedlot acclimation. Limit-feeding high-protein creep feeds offers better efficiency than free-choice energy-based options for beef cattle producers.

Area of Science:

Animal Science
Livestock Nutrition
Beef Cattle Production

Background:

Creep feeding is a common practice to enhance calf performance.
Energy-based, free-choice creep feeds show suboptimal gain efficiency.
High-protein, limit-fed creep diets present a more efficient alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficiency and impact of different creep feeding strategies on calf performance.
To assess the influence of creep feeding on feedlot acclimation and carcass quality.
To provide guidance for beef cattle producers on optimizing creep feeding practices.

Main Methods:

Comparison of free-choice energy-based creep feeds versus limit-fed high-protein creep feeds.
Monitoring of calf weight gain and feed intake.

Assessment of feedlot acclimation and carcass quality traits.

Main Results:

Limit-feeding high-protein creep feeds demonstrated greater gain efficiency compared to free-choice energy-based feeds.
Creep feeding increased total organic matter intake and improved energy status.
Creep-fed calves exhibited smoother feedlot acclimation, and high-starch feeds positively influenced carcass traits.

Conclusions:

Limit-feeding high-protein creep feeds can be more efficient for increasing calf weaning weights.
Creep feeding positively impacts feedlot adjustment and potentially carcass quality.
Producers should carefully consider their specific circumstances before implementing creep feeding strategies.
