Abstract
The role of the environment on calf productivity and disease has been highlighted on numerous occasions within the literature. A discussion around youngstock housing design was previously published by Jamie Robertson (2020) ; this article aims to complement its predecessor, focusing on the two issues commonly found in housed pre-weaned calves in the UK — bovine respiratory disease and suboptimal daily liveweight gains.
