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.

Health

Healthy youngstock are the foundation of future profits, and you will want to avoid the costs of medical care as much as possible. Fresh air, fresh water, high-quality feed, and a hygienic environment are prerequisites for ensuring healthy calves.

Labour

During the development of CalfOTel® calf hutches, a lot of attention was paid to ease of use, labor savings and costs. This makes it very labor-friendly to work with these calf hutches without any concessions being made regarding climate and hygiene.

Experiences

‘Healthier calves in outdoor housing’.

‘‘My consultant for compound feed told me about CalfOTel® calf igloos. In addition to the single-calf hutches I purchased from them, I bought three CalfOTel® XL 5 group hutches a few months ago This allows the calves to remain outside in the fresh air for longer before being transferred to the former youngstock housing. This time outdoors keeps them healthy. As my calves suffered a lot less from diarrhoea, I ordered two more group igloos.’

‘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.’
