Popis:	Calf deaths occur most often from birth to two months of age. Sufficient amount of colostrum consumption, type of barn and hygiene are factors that positively affect the survival of calves. Calves that are fed with a sufficient amount of colostrum to obtain healthy and disease-resistant calves should be taken into the hutches prepared for a single calf. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the birth season on calves living in individual calf hutches, livability, serum immunoglobulin level and some blood parameters. The material of the study consisted of blood samples of 88 female Holstein calves reared in individual fiberglass calf hutches. Birth season had no effect on calves blood serum total protein and glucose levels (P>0.05), while the age and seasonal factors had significant effect on the immunoglobulin levels and blood parameters (P
