Calf trough 910600

for lambsfoalmetal

Designed specifically for New Zealand gates, the Milk Bar™ 13 is designed to sit along the front of the calf pen. Fitted with an adjustable aluminium hook at each end and two in the middle. Milk Bar™ 13 has two brace handles which make it easy to move and give the unit extra strength. Fitted with Milk Bar™ Teats which sit nice low milk in the milk channel to minimise waste. How to use Using a screw driver, adjust the aluminium hooks to fit your gate. Fill with milk and leave the calves to it! To give your calves the best drinking position, hang the feeder on a rail around 90 - 100 cm high. This puts the teat at 60cm which is the optimum height for calves and helps the oesophageal groove to close and milk to bypass the rumen. 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! Cleaning Milk is a difficult substance to clean off of surfaces. You need hot water to remove the fat, but the heat can bake the protein onto the surface. Using warm water to get rid of the protein leaves a film of fat.
