Abstract

The manual addresses the integrated management of calves in family dairy farming systems, highlighting the importance of proper rearing to ensure sustainability, productive efficiency, and animal welfare. It emphasizes the role of nutrition, health management, housing, and genetic selection as pillars for the development of replacement heifers. The work underscores that inadequate rearing affects herd longevity, productivity, and reproduction. A technological approach adapted to the socioeconomic conditions of each producer is recommended, with low-cost practices that have a high impact on the health and growth of the calves.
