Quality Calf «Improved health, welfare and profitability in a sustainable calf production

The primary objective of Quality Calf is to provide science-based recommendations for a sustainable calf production, by investigating the relationship between feeding management strategies and their effect on calf health, welfare and production.

The project is in close cooperation with the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. Economic support by the industry is covered by Tine and Fylkesmannen in the Fjellregionen counties. Delaval and Nortura are also partners in the project as is the University of British Columbia in Canada.
