Abstract
The aim of the studies was to trace the effect of birth season of Black-and-White calves with a high addition of HF genes (more than 50%) on their raising performance and health. The effect of birth season was found in relation to body weight, daily gains, and health of the calves. The highest incidence of ill calves was observed during autumn-winter, while the lowest in summer.
