@GorteadeCowCare @pyonproducts @Emmacalfigloo @GerritAanstoot @ajbrown183 Until calves >150kg they really can’t stand any direct airflow through them: above their heads moving air yes, but the windchill effect impacts weight gain from milk, and stress at worst. For me it’s about best environment: <60% humidity and 15C to maximise potential of calves

Would you drink out of it?🤢 It’s so important to clean your buckets out between feeds!🥛 Milk residue creates a breeding ground for bacteria and once the milk proteins adhere to the sides, they’re difficult to get off!❌ Follow rinse, soak, scrub, wash, rinse, dry steps ✅

Approx 50% of calf deaths are due to poor hygiene! ❌ Bacteria could come from the calving area, the calf’s pen, poor colostrum management, feeding equipment and staff! 😨 We can offer advice and calf rearing protocols @CarrsBillington to get better returns from your calves!🐮

Dutch dairy farm - 40% of hutches rested at any one time; good for keeping pathogen challenge down! #FIVNL

@ajbrown183 Have to say that location was very good too, on the edge of the farmyard with prevailing wind hitting th back of the shed and no obstructions to the back

1:20 drainage and plastic instead of concrete 👍; something else to think about is location relative to other farm buildings and position on hills/ in hollows which impact the quality of air entering the shed 🌬

If you're thinking of putting up a calf shed have a look at this design, something different intended to work on all sites! Be careful if going through grant, Department specs very restrictive for calf sheds! Read the article for details @farmersjournal farmersjournal.ie/calf-mono-show…

It’s #Februdairy! Whether it’s in a glass, cup of tea or a bowl of cereal, milk remains a firm household favourite! Let's thanks all dairy farmers who make this possible 🥛🐄

Calves less than a month old will suffer the most with the current cold snap! ✔Ensure they have deep, dry bedding ✔Calf jackets are a great option ✔Increase milk feeding ❌Don't close up houses/restrict ventilation to try and increase temperature in the house.
