Join us at this webinar to learn about the benefits of pair housing. Calf rearing is crucial for the dairy industry to produce the herd of the future. Over the last decade there has been a big leap forward in our understanding of calf social behaviours, and how they like to have social company and can learn from each other. Traditionally many calves were housed in individual pens, but new research has shown pair housing is a better option. This talk will go over these findings, and what it can mean for calves.
The webinar will cover
- What up to date research tells us
- Impacts on calf health and welfare
- Long term benefits of pair housing
Speaker
