CalfOTel Hybrid Hutches

Good calf rearing is increasingly important for efficient, successful dairy farming. In order to further optimize calf breeding, VDK Products has developed the ‘CalfOTel Hybrid’ – a unique new calf housing concept in which calves can be housed both individually and in small groups ‘outdoors.’ This allows calves to be kept in the same calf hutch from day one to three months of age. The system was developed with labour, hygiene, and animal health in mind.
