Milk Bar

Calf Health: It is important for calf health that milk is delivered at the right speed to optimise digestive health and performance.

As a teat ages, the rubber becomes softer and milk flow increases. As a calf approaches weaning the more developed digestive system can manage this slightly increased flow but for young calves, a faster flow impacts health and can result in cross suckling and nutritional scours.
Use the Milk Bar™ Revolution snap on nipple for approximatly 8 - 10 weeks.
The first sign that the nipple needs to be replaced is post feeding hyperactivity. As soon as you see calves suckling on their gates after feeding, you know the nipple is feeding too fast and it is time to change them.

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 (hence replacement is key).
