The effects of cow-calf-contact rearing on dairy animals’ social traits – a pilot study
Applied Animal Behaviour ScienceEarly separation of the calf from the dam, mostly within 24 h after birth, is common for dairy cows, but cow-calf contact (CCC) rearing gets increasing interest from both practice and science. CCC rearing allows calves suckling their dam or foster cows for several weeks after birth.
