Lying behaviour of lactating dairy cows in a cow-calf contact freestall system [PDF]
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2023 Conventional dairy farming practices usually involve early separation of calves from their dams. Cow-calf contact (CCC) systems may offer an alternative rearing solution that allows for the expression of natural behaviours, such as suckling and bonding.

Traditional methods of variance component estimation for traits under maternal influence consist of partitioning the variance into direct additive genetic, maternal additive genetic, permanent maternal environmental, and error variance components. This partitioning is based on the assumption that each calf is nurtured and fed exclusively by its own dam.

Using contact logging devices to explore animal affiliations: Quantifying cow–calf interactions
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2007Abstract Understanding animal affiliations has important implications for determining social interactions; an example is maternal interactions within beef production systems. The objective of this study was to test whether contact loggers could be used to identify cow–calf pairs.

Stakeholders opinion and perception on feasibility of Cow-Calf Contact on Italian dairy farms
Animal welfare and environmental sustainability have been priorities in the EU, leading to initiatives like Green Deal and End the Cage Age. Calves being separated from dams early after birth is a concern, yet EU cow-calf contact (CCC) legislation is lacking. Several countries promote CCC systems, but there are still gaps in scientific knowledge and noClaudia Manfrè +2 more
