The Milk Bar 10 is good for your calves as it brings all
the natural suckling advantages of the Milk
Bar Teat, and it is good for you as it brings you the
benefits listed below.
Easy teaching of new calves. The suckling action required
to feed from a Milk Bar Teat is the same as feeding from a cow,
so most calves will teach themselves to feed.
Easy to use. The carry handles makes it a simple operation
to carry the Milk Bar 10 and push the hooks over the rail for a
snug fit.
You need less space for feeding. The semi-circular design
means the Milk Bar 10 is smaller and lighter for the same volume,
and it is the ideal shape for calves to feed.
You need less space for storage. The Milk Bar 10 is designed
to inter-stack which is ideal for storage and for transport. The
unique shape prevents teat damage while units are stacked.
You don't have to get in the pen with your calves. The Milk
Bar 10 hooks on the rail, so you stay outside the pen.
Allows you to easily move from pen to pen. When feeding
groups of up to 10 calves it is very simple to lift the Milk Bar
10 from the rail of a pen and move it to the next group of calves.
Allows you to feed up to 30 calves outside with no extra expense.
You can carry 2 or 3 Milk Bar 10's out into a pasture in a trailer
or on a tractor. You then hook them onto the trailer sides and rear
and fill with milk. When the calves have fed, the feeders are placed
back on the vehicle. With this method the calves don't try to follow
the vehicle out the gate as the teats are hidden from their view.
This saves capital as you use the same feeders as you use to in
the calf shed.
Saves you $$. As the Milk Bar 10 is so portable, you don't
need a feeder for each pen. 1 Milk Bar 10 for each 3 or 4 pens is
a good indication of the number required for efficient feeding.
Saves you time. One person can feed 200 calves in 30 minutes
with 5 Milk Bar 10's, and still have time to check the calves, give
them fresh pellets, and check their water troughs.
Easy cleaning. The Milk Bar 10 is washed like a bucket,
and the teats "milked" to clean them. We recommend using warm water
and an alkali dairy detergent. Milk Bar Teats do not need to be
removed from the feeder for cleaning.
Features:
- Holds 15 gallons.
- Hooks fit 2 inch rails.
- Supplied fitted with 10 Milk Bar Teats.
- Convenient carry handles.
- ¼ mm thick, UV stabilised, roto moulded, polyethylene.
The ideal rail height for the Milk Bar 10 is 3 ft above the ground.
This gets the teats 2 ft above the ground, which our trials have
shown is the ideal teat height as it is close to the natural feeding
height for calves.
