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.

CALF CHECK – WINTER EDITION

CalfOTel introduces two innovative solutions for future-proof calf housing

Prevent Nuisance and Protect Your Calves

In July, flies are everywhere. For young calves, flies are not just annoying—they pose a real risk. They can spread disease, cause stress, and hinder growth. In warmer months, flies reproduce rapidly—one fly can produce up to 500 new flies in a single month.

The teat you choose affects how the calf drinks. This influences:

• How much milk the calf takes in
• How much saliva the calf produces
• How calmly the calf drinks
• Hygiene around milk feeding

CalfOtel will participate in the Borgeby Fältdagar in Bjärred, Sweden from 25-26 June 2025 in collaboration with Gardsservice Syd.
