About this product
The MilkFeeder Group is used after the MilkFeeder Single and contributes to sound calf rearing. And therefore lays the foundation for healthy, sustainable and efficient dairy cows. The Feeder offers room for six calves.
When there are fewer calves in the group, then the teat openings can be sealed with a plug. The MilkFeeder Group ensures a slower drinking which means that calf suckle longer. This results in additional saliva production, which improves digestion and increased feed intake. It also benefits the suckling need of the calves. The slanted bottom of the MilkFeeder means that less residual milk remains. The lid of the MilkFeeder keeps out flies, cats and other vermin in order to guarantee optimal hygiene.
Procedure
The assumption when using the MilkFeeder Group is that each calf has its own teat. The calf receives this teat already immediately after the colostrum period by starting with the MilkFeeder Single. When the calf is moved to group housing, the teat is also moved to the MilkFeeder Group.
Hygiene
Flush the MilkFeeder daily with warm water and clean the Feeder twice per week using an alkaline agent that removes the milk fat from the Milk Feeder and the teat. You should not leave the Milk Feeder hanging all day. This will save you on teats.
Teats not included.
