Stress-free housing, faster performance.
Transport, new pens, a new hierarchy – the first days determine vitality, feed intake and growth.
Why the days after housing are critical
Newly housed beef calves have to cope with transport, the new environment, new animals and new feed all at the same time. This stress cocktail weakens the immune system, reduces water and feed intake and costs valuable daily weight gains.
Low feed intake
In the first few days, stressed animals hardly eat – energy supply drops.
Weakened immune system
It reduces defences – respiratory and digestive infections have an easy time.
Energy deficit & dehydration
Lack of water and feed leads to fluid and mineral deficits in the first 72 h.
Challenges after housing
Three factors work together and place a particularly heavy burden on the animals in the first few days.
1
Transport & new environment
The journey, the new pen and new noises continue to stress the animal noticeably for several days.
2
Hierarchy fights
Weaker animals hardly get to the feed trough and drinker – supply falls behind.
3
New ration & climate
A sudden switch to TMR and changed barn air challenge the rumen and overall health.
Those who stabilise the first 14 days
win the entire finishing result.
What beef calves need now
Three clear steps to cushion housing stress and get the animals into the system quickly.
Activate water intake
Palatable, mineralised drinking water encourages drinking and stabilises fluid balance.
Support the immune system
Vitamins, trace elements and natural active substances relieve the respiratory tract and gut.

Faster transition to normal feed intake and consistent daily weight gains.
