•Thermal protection: Calf jackets can help protect calves from cold weather and wind, which can be particularly important for newborn calves who have not yet developed their own insulation.
•Hygiene: Calf jackets can help keep calves clean and dry, which can reduce the risk of infections and disease.
•Comfort: Calf jackets can provide a sense of comfort to calves by mimicking the warmth and security they would have received from their mothers.
•Improved growth rates: Research has shown that calves wearing jackets can have improved weight gain and growth rates compared to those without jackets.
•Reduced stress: Calf jackets can help reduce stress in calves by providing a sense of security and warmth, which can be particularly important during times of stress such as weaning or transportation.
