sananoor, the word "do" is not wrong. It just isn't needed to make the meaning clear.
Let's contrast it to another case:
I like pie more than my wife.
In this case, we have definite ambiguity: Do I actually prefer pie to my wife or do I simply like pie more than she does? We can save my marriage by adding "does"!
However, there's no ambiguity in the calves sentence. We can't read it to mean "They require less medication than they require those raised in confinement." Therefore, the comparison is clear without "do."
