Healthy calves are the foundation of future performance.

Daily Liveweight Gain (DLWG) is a key indicator of calf performance, but achieving target growth starts with getting the environment right.

Poor ventilation, excess moisture and damp conditions can all affect calf health and growth, potentially impacting performance well beyond the early stages of life.

By helping create a healthier, better-ventilated calf environment, Galebreaker solutions can support calf wellbeing, consistent growth and the performance targets that matter to your farm.

Better environment. Healthier calves. Stronger performance.

Could better lighting help support cow welfare?

Lighting can influence cow behaviour, natural rhythms and how animals use the shed.

In our latest blog, Galebreaker’s Will Johnson and Chloe Rodriguez explore why light levels, uniformity and appropriate light and dark periods matter – and what cow behaviour can tell us about the environment.

How dairy shed lighting supports cows’ natural rhythms, movement and access to feed, water and rest to improve welfare & productivity.
