MilkBar 10 Teat Compartment Calf Feeder9002522

The MilkBar 10 Teat Compartment Calf Feeder is a durable and practical solution for feeding newborn calves. Here are the key features and information about this calf feeder:

-Design and Capacity: The feeder comes in grey and is designed with 10 compartments, each capable of holding a maximum of 2.5 litres of prepared milk replacer. This design allows for the simultaneous feeding of 10 calves.

-Material and Durability: Constructed from durable moulded polyethene, the feeder is built to last over several calving seasons. The material is not only sturdy but also fast and easy to clean, ensuring efficient maintenance.

-Teats and Feeding: The feeder is fitted with Milk Bar teats, designed for even milk feeding. The use of individual compartments allows for the monitoring of each calf's milk intake.

-Adjustable Ezi Lock Hooks: The feeder is equipped with adjustable Ezi Lock hooks, enabling it to be hung from gates or rails of various sizes. This feature provides installation flexibility.

-Handles for Easy Movement: Multiple handles are incorporated into the design, allowing for easy movement of the feeder. This makes it convenient for positioning in different locations as needed.

-Natural Digestion and Saliva Production: The design of the MilkBar calf feeder is aligned with the natural digestion process of calves. When using the feeder and teat, calves assume a natural drinking position, producing saliva as they suckle. Saliva plays a crucial role in balancing pH, aiding in curding milk, and providing natural antibiotic properties.

-Timing Consideration: The recommended timing for optimal calf feeding is highlighted. Calves are designed to drink slowly, and it is suggested that for best results, calves should drink at 150 seconds (2 minutes 30 seconds) per litre.

-Feeding Tips: The information provides tips for choosing the right MilkBar calf feeder based on the feeder's and calf feeder's characteristics. It emphasizes the importance of proper seat height, regular cleaning of teats, and monitoring calves for signs of infectious scours.

-Colostrum Feeding: A note is included about the absorption of more IgG when calves are fed colostrum from a bottle compared to tubing.
