Hygiene management in newborn individually housed dairy calves focusing on housing and feeding practices

Celine Heinemann et al.

Summary: The study identified deficiencies in hygiene management of individually housed dairy calves, particularly emphasizing the need for better cleaning of feeding buckets and artificial teats to prevent pathogen spread. Training in hygiene management showed limited effects, indicating room for improvement.

Effect of preweaning disease on the reproductive performance and first-lactation milk production of heifers in a large dairy herd

Angel Abuelo et al.

Summary: The research found that diseases occurring before weaning have some long-term effects on the production and reproductive performance of replacement heifers, but have limited impact on the time to achieve critical reproductive performance indicators.

Implementation of management recommendations in unweaned dairy calves in western Germany and associated challenges

Jason J. Hayer et al.

Summary: The study evaluated dairy calf management practices and found various deviations from scientific recommendations on different farms. Major deviations included cleaning practices, timing of weaning, and separation of cow and calf, among others. The number of recommendations implemented on farms correlated with the responsible stockpersons and their prioritization of animal welfare.

Effects of short-term exposure to drinking water contaminated with manure on water and feed intake, production and lying behaviour in dairy cattle

Karin. E. Schutz et al.

Summary: The study found that dairy cows are sensitive to manure contamination in their drinking water, consuming less contaminated water initially. Water quality did not affect feed intake, production, or lying behavior, possibly due to low levels of contamination and high water intake from feed being sufficient to maintain milk production.

Pre-Weaned Calf Rearing on Northern Irish Dairy Farms: Part 1. A Description of Calf Management and Housing Design

Aaron J. Brown et al.

Summary: The study revealed significant variations in calf housing and management practices across dairy farms in Northern Ireland, with suboptimal housing design and functionality identified as a contributing factor to specific management practices. Lack of appropriate monitoring and measuring in key areas poses a risk for calf health and performance.

Gut microbiome colonization and development in neonatal ruminants: Strategies, prospects, and opportunities

Muhammad A. Arshad et al.

Summary: Colonization and development of the gut microbiome play a key role in optimizing the health and performance of livestock animals, with dietary and management practices profoundly influencing the gut microbiota. Interventions during early life can establish a favorable microbiome, impacting nutrient utilization and immune response. Techniques like transgenesis and host genetics are being explored for their potential in modulating rumen microbiome and improving gut development and performance in neonatal ruminants.
