Grass-based veal production offers a sustainable and welfare-oriented use for male dairy calves. Multispecies pastures are often linked to lower methane emissions, yet this relationship has not been investigated in veal calves. This study evaluated …
Developing grass-based veal production from male dairy calves could be a low-input solution for raising such animals, particularly in organic systems. However, the impact of grazing on enteric methane emissions of young animals is not well assessed, …
There are potential benefits for grazing calves concerning animal welfare, resource efficiency, and ecosystem services compared to conventional indoor systems. However, enteric methane production in grazing calves might be an environmental challenge …
