• T
he hutches are made of fibre-glass reinforced
polyester; this material is very sturdy and tough.
The hutches are manufactured in a mould and do
not have any grooves or gaps.
• U
rban calf hutches do have a special coating. The
smooth surfaces of the hutches, which can be
cleaned easily, are dirt-repellent; they do not have
a contact surface for germs or bacteria.
• T
he material utilised and the white colour make
the hutches UV-resistant and unsusceptible to
cold and heat.
• T
he white opaque surface also reflects the sunrays, making the hutch cool and pleasant inside
even when the temperatures outside are high.
• The pens with their doors and the self-locking feed
fences for the large capacity hutches are very stable.

Urban calf shelter
Livestock friendly group housing
The Urban calf shelter, which is characterized by its stable construction, can be used in an extremely flexible
manner. The shelter is suitable for one large capacity
Urban calf hutch which can host up to 5 calves. It also
works well with up to four Urban calf hutches for one
single calf. Due to its stable construction, there are no
braces or fences that hinder the farmer while entering
the shelter. The Urban calf shelter is equipped with two
large pneumatic-tyred wheels (diameter: 39 cm / 1.3 ft).
These wheels make transportation of the shelter very
easy and enable relocation of the calf shelter prior to
mucking out the hutches. The two square front columns can be adjusted in height, so that the shelter has
a firm stand even on uneven terrain.
• Healthier calves through proper ventilation and
comfortable resting area
• F requent relocation of shelter accounts for less
germs and bacteria
• L ivestock friendly group housing
• F orage, litter and bedding material will stay dry
• Shelter can be relocated easily, facilitating
mucking out of the hutch(es)
• Suitable for one large capacity Urban calf hutch (XL),
also works well with up to four Urban calf hutches
(1 or 2)

Innovations putting practice into practice: Since 1984, Urban has been developing,
producing and distributing calf milk mixers, calf feeders and concentrate stations
as well as animal-friendly rearing systems for calves. Calves kept in an outdoor
environment and supplied by CalfMom feeders are healthy and vital; calf death
losses are low. This early phase of the calf’s life already includes the metabolic programming for high milk and life performance as dairy cow from which you profit
later on.
Urban products such as the MilkShuttle and the CalfMom are the standard in
modern calf rearing today. This has been repeatedly confirmed by many satisfied
customers. Over the course of years, the demand for Urban feeding technology
and stall systems has expanded well beyond northern Germany. In the meantime,
Urban devices are in use worldwide in more than 40 countries on all five continents.
Use the modern calf feeders and calf concentrate feeders yourself as well as the
hutches and outdoor climate stalls for the time- and cost-saving, healthy rearing
of your calves. You contribute significantly towards economic success as well as
ensuring the future of your farm.
We would be pleased to offer solutions for your farm
