Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid 10 - 1

Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid 10 Product Code: 928500 One of the most popular feeders in the Lamb/ Kid range, this 10 teat feeder is lovely and light to handle but has exceptional durability. The feeders stack inside each other with teats fitted so you can carry four or five at a time. Easy to clean, easy to use and lambs and kids love its little ledge to make them feel secure. The Ezi Lock hooks lock onto any rail type up to 75mm and flip upside down after feeding. Fitted with Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid Teats to control the milk flow. How to use With Ezi Lock Hooks you can hang this feeder on anything from wooden rails to steel gates. Simply hang the feeder in place, lock the hooks and fill with milk. After feeding you can either remove the feeder, or flip it upside down until the next feed. To give your lambs and kids the best drinking position, hang the feeder on a rail around65 cm high. This puts the teat at 25cm which is the optium height for them andhelps 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 optimumhygiene. However, while this is the most hygienic system, it can also be difficult to change teats!

Cut the teats out: Make sure the blade is sharp and you use the knife away from you. Make sure to check the teat alignment is correct and the slit is vertical!

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 biofi

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,...
