Journal Article
Margerison, J., & Hemmingway-Wood O'Dell, M. (2021). 108. Effect of environmental enrichment on feed intake, feed efficiency and cross-sucking of dairy bred calves offered high amounts of milk replacer twice daily. Animal - Science proceedings, 12(1), 87

Application: Cross sucking (CS) was almost eliminated in calves reared in pairs by bedding calves with straw directly following milk feeding, while feed efficiency (FE) was not affected. Artificially reared calves commonly suck each other following... Read More about 108.
