Milk Bar™ 3 Teat Separator for Lambs

Milk Bar™ 3 Teat Separator for Lambs

Lambs have a slightly wider head than kids and so the wider teat channel gives them space while still protecting teats from biting. Teat biting is an ongoing problem for farms using automatic feeders so milk loss and replacing damaged teats is an ongoing cost. Using the Milk Bar™ 3 Teat Separator for lambs protects the teats from biting AND allows the lambs to nurse at the correct speed. The teat height is easily adjusted to ensure the correct suckling action is achieved for all ages. The Separator board has three Milk Bar™ Teats that are connected to the automatic feeder and provide lambs a secure drinking channel with all the health benefits of the Milk Bar™ Teat! Also available in 2 and 4 teats!

How to use

The Milk Bar™ 3 Teat Separator for lambs is easy to install.

Install the board into your pen.
Pull through the teats and connect the tubes into the back of the teats.
How do I change my teats?
Pull the Milk Bar™ Teat into the feeder.
Push the tube into the back of the teat.
IMPORTANT! Do not use a non return valve on the tube. A non return valve increases the flow of milk and can leave calves at risk of digestive upsets.
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.

Make sure the teat 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. 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.

Made from renewable, high quality natural rubber, Milk Bar™ Teats are kinder to the environment. Natural rubber absorbs the milk fat and protein which can cause the teats to become softer and start to drip. The milk flow can become faster, decreasing calf performance.
Recommended cleaning: Use Milk Bar™ Detergent, a dishwashing detergent, or any other non-chlorine/ chloride dairy detergent twice a week. Important! Chlorine/chloride based dairy detergents degrade natural rubber which reduces teat performance and voids any warranty.
Rinse your teats with water.
Use a gentle detergent, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use Chlorine/chloride based dairy detergents!
Using a brush, lightly scrub the outside of the teats making sure to bend the teats. By bending the teats, any milk gets pushed back inside the feeder so the detergent can make contact with the inside of the teat wall.
Rinse clean.
