The Milk Bar™ 20 has a solid base so calves cannot knock it over, even when they are close to weaning.
A fairly large feeder, the feeder bowl stacks inside the base when not in use to reduce storage space.
There are loads of creative ways to fill the Milk Bar™ 20, but typically a hose is the easiest to avoid carrying buckets through boisterous calves.
Being perfectly round, you can feed 20 calves right through to weaning, either inside or out.
Fitted with Milk Bar™ Teats to improve average daily gains.
How to use
The Milk Bar™ 20 comes with the feeder bowl stacked inside the base and a pack of the bolts and instructions you will need to assemble the feeder ready for use.
1. Place the feeder bowl upside down on the ground.
2. Place the base on to the feeder bowl, lining up the bolt holes.
3. Screw the bolts into place. They are wingnut so no need for any tools.
4. Fill with milk and leave them to it!
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!
