Ensure its-pens should have concrete floors to facilitate cleaning
Make dry and warm- dry litter should be placed on the floor to avoid dampness/wetness.
Roof should not leak/avoid spilling water on the floor to discourage dampness and wetness of the litter
Adequate space: Should be spacious for exercise, feeding and watering of calves.
Proper lighting - should be well lit as light is necessary for synthesis of vitamin D.
Proper drainage - should be constructed on a well-drained place to avoid dampness
Draught free - to prevent entry of cold winds and discourage infections like pneumonia
Proper ventilation - to allow free air circulation
Single housing - calves should be housed singly to prevent licking one another which can lead to formation of hair - balls in the rumen
