Summary:
- This article discusses a study that compared the effects of cold stress on dairy calves housed in single versus pair hutches.
- The study found that calves housed in pair hutches had higher body temperatures and better weight gain compared to those in single hutches, indicating that pair housing can help mitigate the negative impacts of cold stress on calf health and growth.
- The results suggest that pair housing may be a more effective way to house dairy calves, particularly in cold climates, as it can provide additional warmth and social benefits that support calf well-being and development.
