ProYoungStock - Promoting young stock and cow health and welfare by natural feeding systems
The objective of ProYoungStock is to collect, develop and assess natural feeding strategies to increase dairy livestock welfare, including health, in different agro-ecological and regulatory European contexts. This will be achieved by improving the rearing of calves pre-weaning and designing forage-based feeding strategies for heifers and adult cows, both fostering the animal’s immune status and reducing the use of antibiotics and anthelmintics.
