Individual to Weaning

For the best results, follow the simple rule, One Calf : One Teat.
By allocating a new Milk Bar™ Teat to each new calf you can be sure she is feeding at the right speed throughout her development.

For young calves, a new Milk Bar™ Teat has the perfectly controlled flow for saliva production which is crucial to boost immunity. As the calf and teat age, the milk flow becomes slightly faster but is still controlled enough to improve lactose absorption and increase ADG.

For easy calf management, keep the same feeder with the same calf from birth till weaning. If you mix feeders between calves, there is a danger of giving a young calf an older, more worn teat which can lead to health problems like diarrhoea and poor performance.

It's simple to either number your feeders and hutches or use the Milk Bar™ Colour Code system to immediately make sure that each calf has her own feeder.

  • Protocol

    1. Fit a new Milk Bar™ Teat to your single feeder.
    2. Either number or colour code the feeder and the hutch.
    3. This feeder stays with this calf until weaning.
    4. After weaning, replace the old, worn teat with a new Milk Bar™ Teat ready for the next calf.

  • Cleaning

    Daily rinse and twice a week use an Alkali Detergent with a hot wash.

TOP TIP!

The Vitality System

The Milk Bar™ Vitality System was designed specifically for individual, bottle fed calves. The special Aligning Socket stops calves pushing the bottle out of the holder and makes sure the teat is in the right position for perfect milk delivery. Each teat fits into a coloured teat clip so all you need to do is match the teat clip to the hutch tag to be certain that every calf is drinking from the right teat!
