    Summary

    Calf housing microclimate issues in winter lead to higher disease rates. Optimal temperature and humidity are crucial for calf health, especially during colder months.

    Area of Science:

    • Animal Science
    • Environmental Science
    • Veterinary Medicine

    Context:

    • Investigates microclimate parameters in a transformed calf-raising facility for newborns up to 15 days old.
    • Utilizes group housing with natural ventilation and specific feeding protocols for young calves.
    • Monitors key environmental factors including temperature, humidity, air velocity, CO2, and ammonia levels.

    Purpose:

    • To establish the dynamic of microclimate parameters in a calf nursery.
    • To assess the suitability of the existing environmental conditions for young calves.
    • To correlate microclimate conditions with calf health outcomes, particularly disease incidence.

    Summary:

    • The study found suboptimal temperature and humidity levels in the calf nursery during winter and transitional seasons.
    • Higher incidences of gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases were observed in winter, linked to unfavorable microclimate conditions.
    • While air velocity and gas admixtures remained within acceptable hygienic ranges, temperature and humidity control were inadequate.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the critical need for optimized temperature and humidity control in calf housing to improve animal health and reduce disease.
    • Provides data on microclimate dynamics relevant to neonatal calf management and facility design.
    • Suggests improvements in environmental management can mitigate disease risks and enhance calf welfare.
