Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid Training Teat - 1

Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid Training Teat Product Code: 900400 A little softer than the Milk Bar™ Teat, the Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid Training Teat is the perfect training teat. Lambs and kids must still suckle correctly and produce the all important saliva that boosts immunity and helps with digestion. How to use Use the Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid Training Teat for three or four days and the switch to the Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid Teat. This switch is important to maintain a controlled feeding speed to maximise health andreduce problems like nutritional diarrhoea. 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! Use a Teat Tool: This is by far the easiest method. The purpose designed Teat Tool plucks theteat 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 directlydown 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 to check the teat alignment is correct and the 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 deter

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.
