Popis:	Pair housing of dairy calves during the pre-weaning period helps meet the natural social needs of the calf and has been shown to improve growth and starter intake during the pre-weaning period as compared to individual housing. However, there is little evidence to suggest that pair housed calves maintain their social and growth advantages past the weaning phase. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of pair housing on measures of behavioral and physiologic well-being during the first four months of life.
