Milk Bar™ Teats work in harmony with the calf’s digestive system to improve calf health. With our specialized flow control, calves create more saliva to boost immunity and strengthen digestion. Improved digestion produces heavier, more robust calves to reduce cost and management. The all important lactose absorption is increased which reduces scours/ diarrhoea. The controlled flow satisfies the calf's natural suckling instinct. When they are satisfied after feeding they no longer suckle each other after feeding (cross suckling). It is important for calf health that milk is delivered at the right speed to optimise digestive health and performance. As a teat ages, the rubber becomes softer and milk flow increases. As a calf approaches weaning the more developed digestive system can manage this slightly increased flow but for young calves, a faster flow impacts health and can result in cross suckling and nutritional scours. Seasonal/ batch rearing: we recommend you start the season/ batch with new Milk Bar™ Teats in your feeders. This minimises the disruption from a mid season teat change and gives calves the perfect flow from start to finish. All year round feeding: we recommend you start each new calf with a new Milk Bar™ Teat and keep this teat with this calf until weaning. Follow the Teat with One Calf - One Teat for best results! How long will my teats last? We have very strict quality control and only accept teats that perform at 20 hours on our feeding simulator. 20 hours is around 10 weeks or 140 feeds. Any more than that, and it’s to hard for the calves to drink, any less and the teats don’t last, it’s a finely tuned process!
