We evaluated 59 farms with Holsteins (H) and 77 with the Czech Fleckvieh breed (C). Across all surveyed farms, 88.2% of calves had their navels treated, the preferred methods being dipping (39.7%) and spraying (35.3%). Calves’ navels were treated only once in 66.9% of herds (64.9% of C farms, 69.5% of H farms) and only twice in 21.4 % of herds. Repeated navel treatment is efficient prevention against navel inflammation. Quality of newborn calf care is very essential point for its survival and long-term efficiency.
