Abstract

Brad Heins dives into an insightful calf-rearing project at the University of Minnesota Morris dairy herd, exploring the impacts of different rearing methods: individual housing, paired housing, group housing, and calves raised directly on cows. Heins discusses the benefits, challenges, and key findings from each approach, offering valuable insights for dairy farmers seeking to optimize calf health, social development, and growth performance.
