In most beef rearing systems calves are picked up from different small farms and brought together at a calf market or collection center. From there they are moved to a specialised starter farm. The result of travelling, grouping and travelling again is a lot of stress, which strongly lowers the immunity of calves.
To ensure a good start a correct protocol is important.
- Reduce stress
- provide a clean and dry place
- feed ad libitum fresh water plus Sprayfo Hydravit
- and ensure good ventilation
These are just a selection of topics to handle. Check the different beef rearing systems and contact our advisors for tailored support.
