Mono Calf Building

Teemore have teamed up with Jamie Robertson, a specialist in ventilation, to provide the future of calf housing. With a focus on biosecurity and a fresh environment, a building design has been created which allows calves to thrive, and reduces the level of bacteria and disease within the building. This is made possible by using specified materials to reduce bacteria build-up and calculated the optimum ground levels, roof angles, and air flow for the best possible environment. Plastic panels used as divider’s Vent tube to control air flow Slope in floor for drainage Slurry channel to reduce presence of ammonia Wide walkway to aid handling Improved drainage in calf facilities, which will benefit calf health and moisture is removed from the building. Calves are group in batches within the pens and cannot interact with other pens, this reduces the spread of bacteria. The use of the Vent tube and Windbreakers increases the flow of fresh air, which is beneficial to the calf’s health. The use of sheeted doors and windbreakers also eliminates drafts, this ensures the calves do not get a chill, which could make them sick. One of the defaults on many livestock farms is that youngstock and maybe dry cows have ended up being housed in buildings with a long history, and little or no investment. Investment has been focused elsewhere, which is ironic because there is nowhere on a farm that stands a better chance of repaying investment than youngstock, male or female. Provide a healthy start and costs per unit of growth or production, any species, will be reduced for life compared to an animal less healthy.
