EPrint Type:Practice tool
Teaser:Housing systems for species-specific rearing with mother cows and nurse cows
What problem does the tool address?:Mother-bonded and fostered calf rearing is attracting growing interest in practice.
What solution does the tool offer?:More and more dairy farmers are seeking to extend the time that calves have with their mothers for longer than just a few hours while still milking the cows. This extended time allows the cow and her calf to experience a closer and more natural relationship. The methods and lessons learned from livestock farmers experienced in mother-bonded and fostered calf rearing were collected and are made available to others in this technical guide.
