The Calf Handbook by Holm & Laue: packed with tips for optimal calf rearing!

14 November 2022 | Int. Livestockhousing Guide |

A healthy dairy herd is of great importance to you, as a business and, for that reason, the foundation has to be good! Fortunately, we are seeing a growing interest in the Netherlands for healthy calf rearing and calf housing.

Unfortunately, we are still faced with advice every single day that is far from optimal. Ultimately, this can lead to poor livestock housing being erected at a huge cost. This is precisely why we have produced the Calf Handbook and distribute this free of charge. Not to tell dairy farmers what to do, but to help you to achieve the best results with calf rearing.

In brief, Holm & Laue’s vision is as follows: a healthy, ammonia-free and fresh environment, where the calf builds up more immunity and, because of this, is less susceptible to disease. Holm & Laue offers various solutions for this, such as:
​•  the IgloVeranda system (fixed or mobile housing, with or without calf feeder)
​•  the CalfGarden (healthy draught-free individual outdoor housing)
​•  Thinsulate calf jackets (with amazing results)

We are happy to be your partner and to answer any questions you may have about calf rearing. We will provide you with tips for daily feeding and improved calf health. We would also be happy to help you to plan new housing.

Request the Calf Handbook, free of charge, through our website, which is packed with tips for optimal calf rearing:
•  Valuable specialised articles about colostrum, feeding and management
​•  Situational pictures for automated calf feeders in the calf housing
​•  Design drawings of various Iglo housing systems
​•  Information about modern feeding technology, such as the CalfExpert automatic calf feeder and the MilkTaxi.
​•  Overview of the various calf hutches, ranging from single, double and group igloos
