The Eco 10 is a retro Milk Bar™ 10 style from before we designed the Ezi Lock Hooks. A simple but effective feeder, the moulded hooks fit onto a 50mm rail and the carry handles are well positioned for ease of use. The Eco 10 is fitted with Milk Bar™ Teats and interstacks. Long lasting, simple and functional, the Eco 10 is great value for money! How to use You can hang the Eco 10 on rails 50mm wide. Make sure you don’t force the feeder onto a wider rail as it can result in cracking the base of the hook. For best results hang the feeder on a 50mm wooden rail, a narrower rail will allow the feeder to tip forward. To give your calves the best drinking position, hang the feeder on a rail around 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!
