This study compared rearing veal calves in individual stalls versus group rearing in pens to determine how the different forms of rearing affect the welfare, growth performance and carcass/meat quality of the calves. Half of the group-housed calves were only fed milk, while the other half had their milk diet supplemented with corn. Raising the calves in group and supplementing the diet with grain resulted in those calves having better growth performance, as they weighed more at slaughter. This treatment also improved carcass confirmation, but did not affect the dressing percentage. The calves raised in groups had higher blood packed cell volume counts, which means reduced risk of anemia. The meat and carcass colour, as well as, the main physical and sensory traits of the meat were not affected by housing or feeding treatments. The carcasses from corn supplemented calves or those housed in stalls, had a higher fat content. Overall, housing veal calves in stalls and supplementing their diet with corn can improve growth performance, without losing the carcass or meat quality.
