Veal calf production in the Netherlands
Quantative information on the health of veal calves in the Netherlands is limited. Some broad figures are known as to, for example, average mortality and premature slaughter rate, medicine costs and applied antibiotic treatments for enteric and respiratory disorders, etc. Data from necropsies and laboratory research at the animal health departments can

Transport of veal calves from birth farms to veal farms and calf management in Swiss dairy farms [PDF]
The calf transports of 34 veal farms were documented over a one-year period in order to describe the transport from dairy to veal farms. Veal farms were visited four to eight times, and general farm management data and information on calf purchase were collected.

The public also looks to the veterinary profession to guarantee a wholesome meat product which is raised in an ethical and humane manner.

Effects of an optimized dairy calf-rearing protocol on performance and health in the subsequent fattening period on Swiss veal farms [PDF]
We conducted a prospective field study to characterize the effects of an optimized rearing protocol of calves on dairy-farms on the subsequent performance, health and antimicrobial use (AMU) at the veal-farm. On 19 dairy-farms a total of 55 matched pairs

Detection of cefotaxime- and enrofloxacin-resistant and mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli at farm level in younger and older calf groups across different production systems in Germany [PDF]
Objective Studies on antibiotic resistance in calves rarely differentiate between production systems or younger and older calf groups within farms and commonly rely on non-selective laboratory methods. We investigated the qualitative farm-level detection

Clinical assessment of veal calf units
Concentrating large numbers of very young animals in a small area often results in a high risk to their health. Veal calves are no exception to this rule. When there are outbreaks of diseases the attending local practitioner must face two problems at the same time.

Effects of Phyto-Oestrogens on Veal Calf Prostate Histology
In veal calf production plant-based proteins are frequently included in milk replacer fed to the animals. Since soy products, which are mostly used, are known for their high levels of phyto-oestrogens, the effects of these feeds on the veal calf prostate were examined.

[Results of herd health management in veal calf production].
The aim of this study was to document experience gained with herd health management in veal calf production and to describe the calves' most frequent health problems. Fifteen farms with an 'all-in-all-out' animal flow system and 20 farms with a continuous animal flow system were investigated and data on animal movements, housing, feeding, medical ...
