Breeding calves

During the first weeks of its life and even beyond the period of 0 to 4 weeks, when the calf needs special attention and specific care, healthy and comfortable housing conditions are essential. For maximum comfort, 5 criteria must be considered: temperature, ventilation, humidity, location and surface area allocated to each animal.

5 TIPS FOR A WELL-HOUSED CALF
IN GOOD HEALTH

  • Temperature adapted to the age of the young calf and without sudden variations
  • Air renewal without draught
  • Humidity under control
  • Nursery close to the milk parlour but isolated and facing south-east
  • A hutch for every age

 

CALVES AND MORTALITY:

Young calves are fragile until they are weaned and the mortality of young calves is a major problem for dairy farms.Most pre-weaning deaths (except deaths during calving)are caused by respiratory and diarrhoeal diseases. A study conducted in France shows that the mortality risk of calves aged less than one month is 10,2 % of which almost 7 deaths out of 10 occur within the first 48 hours.

Recommendations for a healthy and balanced diet
for young calves

For a healthy and balanced diet favouring the growth of the calves, a few rules have to be followed:

  • perfect hygiene
  • careful milk preparation
  • easy milk distribution
  • introduce solid food as soon as possible
  • water access from an early age on
