The
Milk Bar Vitality Bottle System is incredibly easy to install and cuts time
spent raising calves. The Milk Bar Vitality System uses a unique chute design
that ensures the Milk Bar Teat is positioned vertically so the calf suckles are
the correct speed for healthy digestion.

Calves that drink one
quart of milk in under two minutes have decreased lactose absorption compared
to those who meet the two-minute mark. The decreased lactose absorption
negatively impacts daily weight gain and increases the risk of nutritional
diarrhea as lactose passes through the intestines too quickly. Calves that
nurse too quickly also cross-suckle causing navel and teat damage to pen mates.
It is important that calves suckle hard from birth to weaning to ensure they
drink at the slow speed required for full milk curding and lactose absorption.
For optimum health calves should start drinking from a new Milk Bar Teat and
stay with that teat or a similarly aged teat until weaning. As teats age they
soften increasing milk flow.
