The evaluation on different technological systems for calf housing
Original language description
The aim of our study was assessment the impact of different types of calf housing on their performance, health and welfare. The four types of individual pens located on a one farm were observed during 5 years period. Three types of individual hutches were placed outside, those were made of various materials: wood, polyethylene, tarpaulin; one type of individual pens was situated under the shelter. We monitored average daily gain and health of calves during the experiment. The obtained values were analysed by Statistica software package, StatSoft. The calves housed in the individual pens under the shelter reached a significantly lower (p<0.05) average daily gain during the milk diet in compared with calves housed in the tarpaulin hutches. The higher prevalence of diarrheal disease and respiratory tract problems was detected at the calves housed in the shelter, as well as higher mortality of calves in comparison with outdoor hutches.
