How to use
How to use
The bucket hangs on any standard hutch bucket bracket and has a slot at the base to hang it upside down after feeding.
The Calf Buddy™ 1 comes with a Calf Buddy™ Teat and Connector. Calf Buddy™ Teats have a pull through design to sit snugly against the feeder wall for optimum hygiene. This is the most hygienic connection system, and with the 1 Click connection, it is also easy to change.
Inserting a new teat:
Connect the teat to the Calf Buddy™ Connector, making sure the teat and connectors line up.
Pull the teat through the hutch bucket.
Using an up and down motion, pull the teat through the bucket until you hear the 'click'.
Finally, be sure to check the teat alignment is correct and the slit is vertical!
Removing a worn teat:
Place your hand inside the bucket and pull the connector upwards until it disconnects from the teat.
Remove the worn teat and discard it.
Wash the connector and insert it into a new Calf Buddy™ Teat. So easy!
Cleaning
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. When fats and proteins stick to the surface of equipment, they form a biofilm, a nutrient-rich layer in which bacteria grow.
The biofilm protects bacteria from the cleaning process and results in equipment that appears clean but has bacteria on the surface. The cleaning process not only needs to remove fat and protein from surfaces but prevent the formation of a biofilm.
All Calf Buddy™ Teats are made from a natural rubber. Natural rubber absorbs the milk fat and protein which causes the teats to become softer.
Using a NON-CHLORINATED Detergent a few times a week with strip the milk fat and protein from the rubber so your calves can enjoy the controlled flow for longer.
1. Rinse your feeder with water.
2. Use anon chlorinated detergent, following the manufacturers instructions.
3. Using a brush to lightly scrub the feeder and outside of the teats making sure to bend the teats over.
4. Rinse clean.
