The aim of the study was to determine the effect of using the floor gratings in calf hutches on improvement the fare of calves during the period of milk nutrition. The seven calf hutches with floor gratings (experimental group) seven hutches without the floor gratings (control group) were observed for 17 months. We monitored air tempera temperature and dry matter of bedding, average daily gain, health and behaviour of calves during the experime The experimental data were analysed by the Statistica package (StatSoft).
