McInnes Milk Bar 10 Lamb Or Kid Compartment Feeder

Features & Benefits

• Cut out handles along the back make this compartment feeder easy to handle.
• Compartments let you monitor the feeding speed so you can rearrange groups if you need to.
• Well shaped compartments are easy to clean.
• Fitted with Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid Teats to even out drinking speeds, control the flow, and reduce bloat.

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 around 50 cm high. This puts the teat at 25cm which is the optimum height for them and helps 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 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 to check the teat alignment is correct and that the slit is vertical!
