Summary

Generell sind die Richtlinien für die Kälberaufzucht in der biologischen Milchviehhaltung minimal. Säugesysteme haben potentielle Vorteile bezüglich Gewichtszunahme, Wertsteigerung von Milch und Tieren, die andernfalls ausgesondert werden müssten sowie Tiergerechtheit und Natürlichkeit. Die Vorteile der
Aufzucht von Kälbern mit Kontakt zur Mutter können genutzt werden, während die Nachteile solcher Systeme durch die Verwendung von Ammenkühen reduziert werden können.

Additional Summary

In a pilot study between late 2002 and early 2005, the Louis Bolk Institute evaluated the possibilities of calf rearing systems in which dairy cows raise their calves. The evaluation included system practicalities, weight gain, milk consumption by calves and weaning. The benefits of rearing calves with the mother’s involvement are underestimated. In case of calf rearing at dairy farms at least three different methods of suckling can be distinguished: single suckling during the colostrum period or with additional milking and multiple suckling with a nurse cow. The growth in suckling systems is result of a higher intake and better ingestion of colostrum and milk. In single suckling systems milk consumption of calves is up to 10 kg per day per calf in the first 14 days and up to 15 kg thereafter. In multiple suckling the consumption varies
between 5 to 10 kg per day.
