More about CalfOTel®

Calf housing

During the rearing period, calves develop their immune systems. High-quality calf pens on your farm will make a real difference. But what are high-quality calf pens? Do you prefer your animals indoor or outdoor housing? Do you prefer individual hutches or duo housing? We will be happy to explain the advantages of the various systems we have in our range.

Hygiene

Like us, a calf is continuously surrounded by microorganisms. Only a few microorganisms are truly 'pathogenic' and are capable of causing diseases. In order to keep these pathogens away from the newborn calf (which is yet to develop any immunity), we aim to ensure the highest possible standards of hygiene.

Updates

Protect young calves from the cold

Protect young calves from the cold – prevent growth loss this winter. Winter is approaching, which means extra attention for young calves. Newborn calves have little fat reserve and cannot yet regulate their body temperature effectively. When temperatures drop below about 15°C, a young calf must use additional energy to stay warm.

Experiences

Raise well-muscled calves with the CalfOTel® Hybrid

‘Adri van Gestel from Hilvarenbeek (The Netherlands): ‘I’ve been working with the CalfOTel® Hybrid for three or months now. I saw this particular calf hutch on another dairy farm in the area, and since my smaller hutches were due for replacement, I decided to swap them out for two Hybrids. Whereas in the old hutch, you had to kneel down to feed the calves, now we can stand nice and straight. It’s also possible to regulate the temperature using the flap. On days when it’s a bit colder, we close the flap; otherwise, it stays open.’ ‘We use the Hybrid for our heifer and bull calves. When the calves are healthy and drinking well, I house them together. I think that’s better for their well-being and more fun for them, too. And I’ve noticed I end up with stronger calves this way. The animals have more room than before, and more space for exercise. This helps them grow into nice, well-muscled calves.’

‘If I need to expand my housing, I’ll buy CalfOTel products.’

‘I’ve been using CalfOTel® calf igloos for ten years now. As I expand my business, I’ve bought CalfOTel® calf hutches again and again. It’s the obvious choice: they’re easy to use and easy to clean. In addition to focusing on calf feed, I notice that it’s worth paying extra attention to their housing. After all, my calves are my future dairy cows and an important foundation for my business.’
