Observational study: effect of varying transport durations and feed withdrawal on the physiological status and health of dairy calves
Abstract Long-distance transport and associated fasting of unweaned calves have the potential to compromise the animals’ welfare. This observational study aimed to determine how transport and fasting durations impacted the physiology and health of 115 transported calves in three transport groups; IR...
