Milk Bar Lamb / Kid 20 100L

Features & Benefits

• Designed specifically for New Zealand gates, the Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid 20 sits along the front of the pen.
• Fitted with an adjustable aluminium hook at each end and one in the middle.
• The Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid 20 has two brace handles which make it easy to move and give the unit extra strength.
• Fitted with Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid Teats which sit nice low milk in the milk channel to minimise waste. In bigger groups, gut health is even more important and Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid Teats control the flow to reduce diarrhoea and bloat.

How to use

• Using a screw driver, adjust the aluminium hooks to fit your gate.
• Fill with milk and leave the lambs and kids to it!
• To give your lambs and kids the best drinking position, hang the feeder on a rail around 65 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 the slit is vertical!
