WHAT MAKES CALFOTEL UNIQUE?

Calf isolation
A calf is born without antibodies and only develops them by ingesting beestings during the first few days of its life (think of Early, Often, Many). By isolating new-born calves from all potential sources of infection, health risks are minimised when the animals are at their most vulnerable. Cross-infection is prevented by housing calves in individual outdoor boxes.

Fresh air and a good climate
When they are outside the calves are not exposed to draughts and they have enough fresh air. The combination of fresh air and isolation, and the ample supply of daylight ensures that the animals are healthy and strong and resistant to diseases. In addition, extremely low temperatures are no problem for the calves. Because of its depth, a CalfOTel calf box provides sufficient protection when it is cold outside.

Good hygiene
Hygiene is important. Because each calf has its own box, excellent hygiene standards can be maintained. Empty boxes can be cleaned very easily. The interior of CalfOTel boxes has a hard, smooth coating that can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly. The coating also prevents bacteria from adhering to the box wall. CalfOTel boxes do not have any seams or profiles in which dirt can collect. After laying a new bed of straw, the next calf has a clean and fresh box.

Excellent overview
By placing the boxes close to the milking shed, farmhouse or in the farmyard, you can always keep a watchful eye on your future source of income. You can see your calves several times a day without having to go out of your way to do so. If you have any doubts about a calf's health or growth, you can take immediate action.
