Tube cleaning including the teat For the first time the new HygieneStation can automatically flush out and clean the whole milk pipeline right to the teat after each feeding Reduces the calf's exposure to bacteria Improves the health of the calf The outside of the teat is cleaned after every visit as well Germ contamination on the teat drops by an average of 80% Cleaned Mucus Bowl Mucus is collected together in the bowl and is flushed after each feeding Natural Drinking Approach The teat at the feeding station is positioned so that it slants downwards. This encourages the natural drinking position of the calf When the head is stretched this encourages the natural reflex of the esophageal groove and reduces the risk of milk passing into the rumen. LED lit teat Practice has shown that the calves can orientate better when the teat is illuminated. This increases the intake of milk during the night. During the day it is more calm because the feeding process is evenly distributed over 24 hours. Calves Teach Themselves As soon as a calf lifts the teat, a small amount of milk flows into it's mouth. This stimulates the calf's initial drinking impulse; manual learning is only necessary in exceptional cases.
