Group housing of calves R4D

Opstaldning af kalve i små grupper på 2-7 kalve før fravænning, har velfærdsfordele i sammenligning med både opstaldning I enkeltboks og opstaldning i større grupper. Opstaldning i enkeltboks i mælkefodringsperioden stresser kalvene, da det forhindrer social adfærd og begrænser kalvenes bevægelighed. Opstaldning af kalve i grupper størrere end 7 kalve er forbundet med øget forekomst af luftvejssygdomme.
