Funding is provided for a Calf Housing & Pneumonia Project which will run for a 4 year period, commencing at the beginning of 2019.

Key questions which this project will address for dairy farmers, vets and advisors will be:
- 1. How can we use modern technology to better assess calf housing?
- Can we use better, modern diagnostics to diagnose calf pneumonia?
- Knowing these, how can we modify existing calf houses to reduce the risk of calf pneumonia?
- What are the long-term health/growth/fertility cost-benefits for the heifer calves coming into the milking herd in two-years time?
