? Why Calf Coats??
In the first 6 weeks of life, a calf's THERMONEUTRAL ZONE is 50-78 degrees Fahrenheit.
? What is a thermoneutral zone, you say?
The thermoneutral zone is the safe range of temperatures that a calf may be exposed to WITHOUT needing to expend additional energy.
Exposure to such stress can increase the risk of disease and death, prevent growth and immune system functioning, and affect the calf's response to treatments as well as overall productivity.
So how can we prevent the calf from getting too cold or too hot?
This affordable, ruggedly constructed coat comes with a Rip-Stop outer shell and is insulated with Hollofil, the same material used in popular outdoor apparel and sleeping bags. The coat has stout adjustable straps and a Velcro front closure. Made to keep your calf from shivering on those cold days and nights.
? The calves with jackets benefits:
Had higher fecal scores and a lower incidence of scours.
Ate less feed, resulting in a savings of about .77 per head.
Had increased last rib girth measurement, indicating improved rumen development.
