The “Optima Climate Calf Barn” (OCCB) are a group housing system that improves calf health and efficiency rather than a traditional steel framed calf shed. Each calf barn accommodates 7-10 calves which can be expandable by further compartments. The well-thought-out housing design ensures simple and very practical working processes for feeding, animal inspection and cleaning after housing.
OCCBs are sturdy group barns for calves from 1 to 12 weeks of age. The material is made of 52mm propylene recycled plastic which is resistant to ammonia and UV rays which gives the building a long lifetime.
The excellent climate promises a smooth calf rearing with best breeding results.
Ventilation
OCCBs housing lets calves live in an outdoor environment which has become increasingly popular as calf rearers discover the health advantages. As air flows over the outer OCCB shape, the stale air is swept away allowing fresh air to flow in through the large open front. This rapid air exchange is beneficial to calf health. The OCCB shape allows maximum protection from draughts.
