Impact of early dam contact on veal calf welfare [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Dairy calves, including surplus calves, are typically separated from their dam within hours of birth. The aim of this study was to assess the welfare impacts of raising surplus calves destined for veal with their dam for 2 or 4 weeks until transport ...

Dose-dependent impact of oxytetracycline on the veal calf microbiome and resistome [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Antibiotic therapy is commonly used in animal agriculture. Antibiotics excreted by the animals can contaminate farming environments, resulting in long term exposure of animals to sub-inhibitory levels of antibiotics.
