Abstract

Before discussing the relatively scarce data concerning the role of limit-fed creep feeds for preconditioning, it is necessary to review the practice of creep feeding and to explain why limit-fed creep feeding has received no much attention in recent years. If the practice of creep feeding itself does not pay, its potential in preconditioning is very limited.
