Good milk production starts with good calf rearing management<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Every good farmer knows that the first stages of a calf\u2019s life are essential for its well-being and, consequently, for the future milk production of the dairy cow. For this reason, together with Dr. Claudio Alberini, veterinarian of the TECNOZOO group, we have developed some key points for the correct management of the calf unit, from both a nutritional and hygienic\u2013sanitary perspective.<\/p>\n\n

This latest magazine will therefore not be just a general in-depth article, but a true manual for optimal calf rearing management. The following topics will be covered, from calving to hygienic management of the housing environment. <\/p>\n\n

CALVING, COLOSTRUM AND COMFORT ZONE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The main factors influencing calf health and performance for correct calf rearing management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Replacement management is the first step toward achieving a healthy and productive herd. Calf care requires patience and attention to detail; since calves have an immature immune system, they can easily develop diseases that may compromise harmonious growth. <\/p>\n\n

COLOSTRUM<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

not only immunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Colostrum remains the determining factor for the health and survival of the young calf. Although good progress has been made over the past 20 years, there is still considerable opportunity for many dairy producers to improve management practices, resulting in better animal health and performance in both the short and long term. <\/p>\n\n

FEEDING<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

the most suitable weaning strategy for your calf unit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

At birth, calves have not yet developed the forestomachs and therefore must be fed with feeds that can be digested in the abomasum and intestine. In nature, the primary feed is the dam\u2019s milk, but in dairy farming conditions calves are fed milk replacers. There are different types of reconstituted milk; however, it is essential to remember some fundamental rules. <\/p>\n\n

RUMEN FUNCTIONALITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Discover how the calf\u2019s digestive system develops and which weaning method is best suited for your farm.<\/p>\n\n

CALF DISEASES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Causes, symptoms and useful advice to limit the main diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The main diseases affecting calves involve the respiratory system and the gastrointestinal tract. <\/p>\n\n

Edited by Dr. Matteo Tommasin \u2013 Head of Hygiene and Biosecurity Line<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Feeding and housing are the factors that most influence calf health and adult animal productivity. How a good biosecurity protocol acts on calf health. <\/p>\n\n
