Wydale 5 Teat Calf Feeder
The troughs have compartments each holding 2 litres (3 1/2 pints) to the ridge along the back or 3 litres (5 1/4 pints) to the top of the weirs. You only need to fill up as many compartments as you have calves per pen. One sick calf can be given medicated milk/electrolytes if necessary and the rest plain milk.
Colostrum can be fed to new born calves before they can stand; simply put the feeder on the floor and push to the calf’s mouth. It is ideal for introducing the first feed to bought in calves from market – without the struggle!
Key Features:
– One man using two 5 Teat feeders can feed over 70 calves an hour.
– Using this system a typical calf can be weaned on as little as 15 kgs of milk powder as opposed to 50 kgs on the Ad Lib method.
– The cowling guides the calf to the teat and protects it from its neighbour ensuring slow drinkers get enough milk.
– The wydale system is not only fast and efficient it also remains the best for animal welfare.
– In addition, calves’ herded in groups encourages earlier intake of solid food, whilst exercise helps digestion and gives freedom to find a draught free position. Calves are generally happier.
