Calf housing

Calf Housing 

During the period of milk nutrition, calves should be housed first in individual hutches or pens and then in groups. For calf breeders, we offer an individual way of housing (calf hutches, individual boxes) and a group housing, with the possibility of both of these types’ combination. All these systems of calf housing are designed for mechanized manure removal.

Calves' hutches are made of fiberglass. Maintaining and relocating individual hutches is simple. For calves in group housing, we offer group hutches for 4, 5, or 8 calves. Group hutches are also made of healthy material - fiberglass.  

Laminate Calf Hutch with a Hinged Barrier 

The hutch is made of non-toxic fibreglass. The inside of the hutch is smooth – easy to keep clean, easy to disinfect. The hutch has a rear opening with a cover for easy ventilation.

The barrier is treated with a hot-dip galvanisation. The barrier’s height is 1090 mm. The barrier has wheels for easy handling. The hutch is turned over the barrier to allow handling.

Hutch barrier – the front gate is easy to open and removable. The operator can move the gate on the raised barrier and lock the calf in the hutch.

The gate includes a height-adjustable holder for a bucket with a teat, 2 buckets and 2 bucket holders. The gap width above the buckets can be adjusted (narrowed/widened) according to the age and size of the calves.

The barrier is delivered dismantled due to transport costs.

UNIBOX - Individual Calf Boxes

Uni Box – demountable boxes for calves are designed for individual calf housing in calf barns or under the roof during nutrition. Demountable boxes are easy to assemble in a variety of options on flat or slightly sloped surfaces to suit the specific conditions and needs of the farmer.

The construction of the boxes enables the personnel to remove the sidewall (partition) and combine two or more boxes into one big box. This allows the so-called pair breeding and the calves to get used to the post-weaning group housing.

The fully demountable construction with smooth walls is easy to clean and disinfect, which reduces the transmission of microorganisms. We also recommend tube ventilation to reduce infection pressure.

The front (entrance) gate of the individual box is easy to open and detach. The gate is equipped with 2 bucket holders and 2 buckets. The width of the opening above the buckets can be adjusted (widen or narrowed) according to the size of the calves.

The height-adjustable bucket holder is available as an accessory.
