Application

The blanket is intended to protect calves in their first 3–4 weeks of life, when young animals are especially sensitive to cold and damp. It can be used in individual calf pens and hutches, where weather conditions change rapidly. It is suitable for use in dairy and breeding herds aiming to limit the effects of cold and precipitation on young calves. It is a practical solution for colder weather and transitional periods.

How it works

The blanket covers the back and sides of the calf, creating an extra protective layer against rain, moisture, and cold. The waterproof fabric prevents external moisture from penetrating, while the breathable construction helps maintain more comfortable conditions under the blanket. Thanks to nylon straps and plastic buckles, the blanket can be quickly put on and adjusted to the animal. This makes daily calf care easier without complicated handling.

In practice

In everyday use, the blanket helps keep calves more comfortable during cold periods, when the young animal's body uses more energy to stay warm. Ripstop fabric increases resistance to tearing in barn conditions, and machine washing at 30°C makes it easier to keep the blanket clean. This is especially important with regular use in youngstock rearing, where quick fitting and repeatability are essential. Ripstop calf blanket, 80 cm, grey, Kerbl is a size variant of the same series and allows you to choose the length suitable for larger calves.
