Abstract

Quantative information on the health of veal calves in the Netherlands is limited. Some broad figures are known as to, for example, average mortality and premature slaughter rate, medicine costs and applied antibiotic treatments for enteric and respiratory disorders, etc. Data from necropsies and laboratory research at the animal health departments can be very useful for the veal calf industry to monitor changes.
