Hygiene of keeping calves

Abstract

In the first days of life of calves, the influence of numerous environmental factors most strongly affects the full flow of physiologically important processes. Fluctuations in the parameters of the microclimate in calves leads to a decrease in natural resistance, an increase in the level of colds and intestinal diseases in calves of the prophylactic period. Taking into account the natural and climatic territories and technologies used in farms, it is necessary to develop effective measures to control microclimate parameters in order to prevent diseases of calves of various etiologies. The most critical period in calves is the first few weeks of their life, which is associated with the transition from sterile intrauterine development to contact with environmental factors. Possessing complete information about the requirements of the calf's body to the external environment and for their further successful rearing, it is very important to comply with the normative parameters of the indoor microclimate for this type of animal.
