Calf starter creep for kids?

[bknthesdle]

We have some extra calf starter creep feed that was for a bottle calf who is out to pasture now. Is it ok to feed the kids some of it?

is it medicated? most is, but maybe yours isn't. i did feed med. calf creep at one time, but the price was the same on pre-con by noble goat so i don't bother anymore. i don't care to feed something that will be gone in a week, that can upset tummies.

seems i've read that you can feed kids creep like this, but then i also heard no. will be interested in others answers too.

urea is common in calf feeds and its toxic to goats. When we got in the new calf growers and finishers I called purina and asked if they could guarantee it did not have any urea in it even though the label didnt list it and they said no, and they wouldnt recommend feeding it to goats.
I did milk replacer once, killed the kid within an hour. Im sure the calf wouldnt mind having a couple of treat buckets

Thanks! Hubby will just add what I have in the barn to the creep feeder for the calves. Sure glad I checked!!!
