Abstract | The aim of presented study is assessment of the impact of selected bioclimatological parameters (air temperature and relative humidity of the air) in different types of housing of calves (wooden hutch, tarpaulin hutch, plastic hutch and individual stallsunder the shelter). During three macroclimatic periods (hot summer, moderate summer and transition period) the dynamics of outside, inside temperature and relative humidity of the air were recorded in the living zone of calf in hourly intervals by digital data loggers. Detected values were statistically assessed by methods of covariance analysis using the Statistica software. According the obtained data there were not proved the statistically significant differences in temperature-humidity climate between followed types of calf housing during the milk-diet period. There were no significant differences either in average daily body gain or in rectal temperature of calves rearing in monitored hutches and shelter. |
