With the Urban system you create the optimum conditions for time-saving calf rearing in the outdoor environment where the calves feel well and thrive well. The type of construction allows the calves to become used to separate feeding and lying areas such as they will later find in the pens.
Animal-friendly rearing for the calves
Rearing the calves outside the warm, humid stalls has proven itself over many years. After the animals have been reared in their first days of life in the single hutch the Urban system is ideal for the later group rearing.
Flexible use
The Urban system can be quickly set up at the desired point of use and as quickly disassembled when it has to be moved to a different locatio

Wellness for calvesr
The Urban system can be quickly and simply set up at any farm. A concrete surface is sufficient to provide the “base”. It provides the calves with adequate space, divided into lying area, feeding area and pen. The pen can be kept clean with a minimum of effort. The feeding and lying areas are roofed over. The calves therefore always lie in the warm and dry.
Saving in working time
In the Urban calf group rearing system good air circulation is always present. The hollow chamber profiles of the side walls protect against radiated cold from the outside. At the same time they don’t warm up, something which can happen with large-scale hutches. Additional roofs are not required. The plastic walls have a smooth surface and are easy to clean. Generally the bacterial load is very low. Mucking out the lying area is quite simple and quick using either the front loader or the yard loader.
The concentrate feeder and/or the calf feeder can be efficiently set up in the feeding area. And the high-quality silage is placed at the diagonal feeding grid. This means that the calves become quite accustomed to the conditions which they will later find in the pen as high yield cows.
