Pen temperature
The same compatibility conditions apply for all age categories mentioned in the table. The absolute temperature is not so important. As a general rule: the pen should be so fresh that it should not be possible to ‘smell’ the calves. An absolute precondition is that the animals must be able to lie down on a dry and isolated floor.
Try to keep temperature fluctuations as small as possible. Temperature differences of more than 5°C in close vicinity to the calf, e.g. between day and night, could lead to lung problems. In particular, cold spring and autumn nights, after a relatively warm day, are dangerous
