摘要：

Time budgets were assessed in 20 primi- and 17 multiparous cows in a cow-calf study until 4 months of lactation. The cows were housed in the same automatic milking system (AMS) pen, and randomly assigned either to stay with the calf or to separate within 24 hours postparturition. The results of the study showed that certain behaviors were reduced in duration for the cow-calf group: time eating silage, socializing with other cows, and standing in cubicles. The cow-calf cows also spent more time in the waiting area in front of the milking unit. However, neither of the treatments seemed to constrain any activities to the point of reduced welfare for the animals. In conclusion, the addition of calves to a loose housing system with automatic milking is possible.
