Description

Being 11kg we’ve thought hard about how to make this bigger feeder easy to use for most people. The cut out at the front and the rear ledge lets you pull the front of the feeder up and away from the calves. This makes lifting the feeder off the rail much easier to reduce back strain. Fitted with sturdy aluminium hooks. The hooks are predrilled so you can adjust them to sit on gates of 25mm - 32mm. With larger groups of calves, using controlled flow Milk Bar™ Teats reduces cross suckling and stomach upsets to reduce your management time. How to use Using a screw driver, adjust the aluminium hooks to fit your gate. Fill with milk and leave the calves to it! To give your calves the best drinking position, hang the feeder on a rail around 90 - 100 cm high. This puts the teat at 60cm which is the optimum height for calves and helps the oesophageal groove to close and milk to bypass the rumen. How do I change my teats? Milk Bar™ Teats have a pull through design to sit snugly against the feeder wall for optimum hygiene. However, while this is the most hygienic system, it can also be difficult to change teats! Use a Teat Tool: This is by far the easiest method. The purpose designed Teat Tool plucks the teat from the feeder with minimal effort in seconds. Pull the teats out by hand: When removing by hand, make sure to either pull the teat directly down or up. If you try to pull the teat straight out, it will be a tough job! Cut the teats out: Make sure the blade is sharp and you use the knife away from you. Be sure to check the teat alignment is correct and the slit is vertical!
