This study investigates the economic burden of calf mortality in Turkish dairy farms and its impact on the national economy.

By conducting these surveys, we captured data on various aspects of calf mortality, including losses among non-pregnant cows aged two and older, pregnant cows, and those experiencing complications during birth, as well as losses within the 0-6 month age bracket.
