Abstract

Feeder calves encounter numerous physiological and psychological stressors during movement from one production point to another. Proper nutrition can help prepare the animal for a period of stress, reduce the adverse effects of stress, and enhance recovery from stressful periods. Additionally, inadequate nutrition can accentuate the adverse effects of stress.
