91. If any calf has not taken any or all of its feed in a reasonable time, a careful examination should be carried out to determine the possible cause (paragraph 335).
92. Calves should be provided with sufficient space for each to adopt a comfortable lying position, such as lying with the head on the partially extended legs or with the legs stretched out (paragraph 336).
93. All calf housing should be adequately ventilated and ventilation should not be restricted to raise air temperature (paragraph 337).
94. If colostrum cannot be obtained by sucking, it must be provided from another suitable source within the first six hours of life (paragraph 341).
95. Where colostrum is not obtained from the cow, it is essential that the calf is given sufficient via an artificial teat or by oesophageal feeder (paragraph 342).
96. Every calf must receive a properly balanced diet with adequate nutrients and, by the age of two weeks must be offered roughage (paragraph 343).
97. All feeding and mixing equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after every feed (paragraph 344).
98. When an unrestricted feeding regimen is adopted, an adequate number of teats should be provided. Fresh water should also be available close to the teats (paragraph 345).
99. A written health and welfare programme should be instituted for the care of calves, particularly where calves are purchased from a variety of sources (paragraph 350).
100. Veterinary attention should be sought at an early stage in any outbreak of disease so that the cause can be determined and appropriate action taken (paragraph 351).
101. Calves with diarrhoea should be isolated, where practicable, and their diets altered accordingly. This could include the withdrawal of milk or milk substitute feeding for one or two feeds and the offer of warm water and electrolyte solution instead (paragraph 352).
102. The EU calf processing scheme should be amended to permit slaughter on-farm. Otherwise, slaughter should take place as near to the point of production as possible. Calves should not be exposed to unnecessary long distance travel (paragraph 353).
