Cold stress can drain energy from calves, which would otherwise be used for growth and immunity. This is where calf blankets or coats come in\u2014a practical, economical solution to protect your calves and maximize their energy utilization. By retaining body heat, blankets help calves use their energy more efficiently, leaving more resources for growth and development. Plus, they can improve the overall comfort of your calves during harsh weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Practices for Using Calf Coats<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Temperature Matters<\/strong><br>Use calf coats when the temperature drops below 5\u00b0C. This threshold helps ensure calves are adequately protected from the cold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improved Nesting Scores<\/strong><br>Calf blankets can boost the nesting score by 1 point. (For more information on nesting scores, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/calfcare.ca\">calfcare.ca<\/a>.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dry Calves First<\/strong><br>Always ensure calves are completely dry before putting on their blankets. A wet calf under a blanket can retain moisture, leading to chilling and discomfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Monitor for Sweating<\/strong><br>Check calves during warmer daytime hours to ensure they\u2019re not sweating under the coat. Moisture trapped beneath a blanket during cool overnight temperatures can lower their body temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proper Fit is Key<\/strong><br>Fit the blankets snugly but not too tight. A good fit prevents irritation or rubbing from adjustment straps while ensuring full coverage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintain Clean Bedding<\/strong><br>Even when using blankets, ensure the bedding in pens or hutches remains clean and dry. Regularly test bedding moisture levels using the knee test to prevent dampness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Store Blankets Correctly<\/strong><br>Keep calf coats stored in dry areas, avoiding places like milk houses that can accumulate moisture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Disinfect Between Uses<\/strong><br>Wash and disinfect blankets after use to reduce the risk of disease transmission. This step is crucial for maintaining herd health.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calf Coat 101 Why Use Calf Coats?
