| description | The purpose of this literature review was to investigate how the rearing systems influence the behaviour of dairy calves. Calves are social animals that form groups within the herd where play and social licking between calves are important social activities. Suckling is a complex behaviour and essential for the calf's survival. In the modern rearing systems the calf is usually separated from its mother soon after birth. Calves are then kept in individual pens, group pens or, more rarely, with a foster cow. Feeding system often depends upon housing system and calves in single pens are often feed through buckets or a bucket with a nipple. In group pens calves can be fed in the same manner or trough an automatic calf feeder with nipple. These types of housing systems disregard the calf's natural behaviour and suckling pattern. Due to this abnormal behaviours such as cross-sucking or non-nutritive sucking are common. The conclusion from this literature review is that in regard to the calf's welfare the most appropriate way of housing is with its mother or a foster cow. |

Calves are social animals that form groups within the herd where play and social licking between calves are important social activities.

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka hur uppfödningssystemet påverkar beteendet hos mjölkkornas kalvar. Kalvar är sociala djur som bildar grupper inom flocken där lek och slickande kalvar mellan är viktiga sociala aktiviteter. Digivning är ett beteende av komplex natur och är essentiellt för kalvens överlevnad. I modern mjölkproduktion separerar man oftast kalven från kon strax efter födseln. Kalvar hålls i ensambox, gruppbox eller mera sällsynt, med en amko. Utfodringssystemet hör ofta samman med inhysningssystemet och kalvar i ensamboxar utfodras ofta ur spann eller spann med napp. Gruppboxhållna kalvar kan utfodras på samma vis eller genom en automatisk kalvamma med napp. Dessa typer av inhysningssystem stämmer varken överrens med kalvens naturliga beteende eller digivningsmönster. På grund av detta är onormala beteenden som sugande på andra kalvar och icke näringsgivande sugande vanligt förekommande. Slutsatsen från denna litteraturstudie är att det bästa uppfödningssystemet med avseende på kalvens välfärd är att låta kalven gå samman med sin mor eller en amko.
