Webinar: How to provide the perfect ambient environment for calves

Prioritising the future of your herd and looking closely at your youngstock housing should be at the forefront of every farmer's mind. Get the environment inside your housing right, and you will have healthy, happy calves that will perform well.

A calf's ability to maintain a steady body temperature develops during the first eight weeks of life.

Regardless of the housing system, a newborn calf will feel cold when the temperature drops below 10–15°C. By the time it is four weeks old, a healthy calf can tolerate a wider range of ambient temperatures. 

On this webinar, you will hear from David Ball from AHDB and Sophie Mahendran from The Royal Veterinary College for a discussion on how to create and monitor the ambient environment inside your own calf housing.
