First care calf hutch
The Topcalf First Care Box is the ideal mobile calf pen. Immediately after birth, the calf can be placed in the First Care Box to ensure minimal contact with pathogens in the calving barn.
With the side panel open, the box can then be positioned in front of the feed fence, allowing the mother cow to put her head through the feed barrier and lick her calf dry. After the calf has been cleaned and dried, the partially open side panel can be closed again by replacing the upper section, and the calf box can be moved.
✓ Quality – The galvanized steel ensures a long service life
✓ Combination – The calf housing combines a calving pen with a standard individual calf pen
✓ Mobile – Easy to move thanks to swivel castors
✓ Improved start for the calf – The cow can lick the calf clean after birth, stimulating breathing and blood circulation
✓ Efficient barn cleaning – Mechanical manure removal is possible thanks to the concrete foundation wall, saving time and labor

The advantage of the First Care system
With the First Care calf hutch it’s possible to keep the newborn calf in the same hutch until they’re held in a group. This way the calf stays safe from harmful herms and the calf is fully protected against draughts. When the mother cow is at the feed fence, the cow can be easily milked.
