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.
Milk Bar Vitality Calf Bottle System complete includes
alignment chute holders and bolts 3 qt. bottle screw on top clip five Milk Bar
265-0002 Teats. Available in packs of five.
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.
