Calf housing can improve calf survival rates

Calf sheds have been widely used around the world and have achieved remarkable results. Many ranches and dairy farms have adopted calf house technology to raise and manage calves in order to improve breeding efficiency and reduce the incidence of disease.

About Calf House Design
The cowshed consists of a box-type cowshed and a fence, usually a structure with one side open and three sides closed. This design allows the calves to live in a separate space, making it easier to manage and care for them. The calf shed is usually placed in a sunny, dry open area outside the shed to ensure that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, providing a comfortable living environment for the calves.

Calf House Features
Improve living environment: Calf shed can provide calves with an independent, dry and clean breeding environment, which helps to reduce the occurrence and spread of diseases. At the same time, the calf house has plenty of sunlight and fresh air, which is conducive to the healthy growth of calves.
Easy to clean and disinfect: The design of the calf house allows workers to easily clean and disinfect the calves and their living environment, thereby reducing the growth and spread of pathogens.
Reduce the incidence of disease: Since calves are raised in separate spaces, they avoid sucking and competition with each other, reducing the chance of pathogen transmission, thereby reducing the incidence and mortality of calves.
Improved survival rate: The feeding environment and management conditions of the calf house have been optimized, which has significantly improved the survival rate of calves. Generally speaking, the calf survival rate can be increased to over 90%.

Application scope of calf shed
The Calf Island is mainly suitable for calves aged 0 to 3 months. At this stage, the calf’s immune system is not fully developed and its resistance to pathogenic microorganisms is weak, so it needs a relatively independent, safe and hygienic breeding environment.

Advantages and Benefits
Improve breeding efficiency: The use of calf islands can significantly improve the survival rate and growth rate of calves, thereby increasing breeding efficiency.
Reduce input costs: Calf Island uses modern equipment and technology to help reduce input costs such as feed and labor and improve production efficiency.
Environmental protection and energy saving: The design of Calf Island focuses on environmental protection and energy saving, which can effectively reduce pollution emissions and energy consumption.
