We have seen in the past \u00a0calf boxes \u00a0made of steel with wooden \u00a0lodges used in various livestock farms. These particular choices worked preety well , but plastic ones \u00a0have some advantages comparing to steel ones , which \u00a0is worth of mentioning .<\/p>\n
Calf boxes made of steel\u00a0tend to cool when it’s cold outside \u00a0and warm up when it’s hot (thermodynamically speaking, steel is a duct). \u00a0Wood is insulating, such as plastic, but it is organic and porous and can absorb moisture and bacteria, making it more difficult to clean while using them .<\/span><\/p>\n The plastic calf boxes \u00a0are lighter, of good insulation and easy to clean. Also, the polyethylene calf boxes \u00a0were designed and built specifically to accommodate young calves. They keep the calves warm in the winter and offer shade in the summer. <\/span><\/p>\n Before we put a calf in a hutch, we put a layer of sand. We use sand because it is an inorganic sewage that will not have much moisture or bacteria. \u00a0The portable nature of calf boxes \u00a0give us great flexibility to ensure that newborn calves grow in a clean environment.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6528″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text] We have seen in the past \u00a0calf boxes \u00a0made of steel with wooden \u00a0lodges used in various livestock farms.
