Summary
The objective of this thesis was to compare the artificial calf rearing system with a suckling system, given that it seemed to fit more in the organic philosophy and it might result a cheaper option. An experiment was carried out between December 2004 and May 2005 to compare the two systems. Productive and economic parameters were analysed. The author concludes that suckling with culling cows is a good option to rear calves that come from dairy farms and can be cheaper than the artificial rearing, in conditions of organic production.
