The behaviour of calves is a response to stimuli from the
environment causing movement, actions and changes in body position,
affecting the health and welfare of the animals. We distinguish four categories
of physiological behaviour:
- Behaviour related to basic needs such as movement, nutrition, rest and sleep.
- Exploratory behaviour that enables getting to know the living environment.
- Territorial behaviour and protection of safety and social order.
- Sexual and parental behaviour for the protection of the genome and the
extension of the species.
The positive emotional state of animals is manifested through the freedom to
express these forms of behaviour and social contact with other individuals,
which reduces stress and fear. The goal of the care for animal welfare is to
minimize exposure to negative emotions by optimizing these factors.
The present study, carried out on two farms with an intensive system of
housing and rearing calves up to 30 days of age, showed sig...nificant weaknesses
and deficiencies in the way calves are kept immediately after birth, up to 7 days
of age. Namely, of 9 forms of physiological behaviour, 5 rated 1 or 2. The
situation was somewhat better in the age category of calves between 8 and 30
days, where only one form, reproductive behaviour, was absolutely impossible.
In order to improve the quality of calf welfare, it is necessary to provide better
rearing conditions that would enable the manifestation of basic physiological
forms of behaviour.
