Webinar: Inside the CEVEC Project – A Cost-Effective Ventilated Environment for Calves

Discover the results of a groundbreaking 12-month study transforming calf housing, health, and farm efficiency.

Hosted by Digital Dairy Chain, the funders of the project through Innovate UK, this exclusive webinar will unveil the full findings of the CEVEC (Cost Effective Ventilated Environment for Calves) Project—a new approach to creating a controlled, healthy, and sustainable rearing environment for youngstock.

During this session, the Galebreaker team will guide you through:

🔹 Why and how the CEVEC building was designed and built

• Key principles behind the structure
• Ventilation strategy and environmental control
• Cost-effective engineering decisions that shaped the final design

🔹 Results from the 12-month calf trial

We will present the performance of the CEVEC system compared with a traditional hutch system, including:

• Calf health outcomes
• Treatment and morbidity data
• Growth rates and performance metrics
• Running costs and labour comparisons
• Carbon footprint reduction analysis
• Return on investment modelling

Who should attend?

Farmers, calf-rearers, consultants, vets, agri-tech professionals, researchers, and anyone interested in innovative, sustainable livestock housing.

What you’ll take away

Clear, practical insights into how a ventilated calf environment can improve welfare, reduce costs, lower environmental impact, and deliver measurable returns.
