Lely Calm Automatic Calf Feeder Aims to Improve Calf Health and Farm Efficiency
The first weeks of a calf's life quietly shape the future of the entire herd.
The latest transporter/mixer for milk or colostrum from McKee Plastics will find favour with rearers, the self-contained unit making life easy at the flick of a switch.
The 550L moulded tank is mounted on a galvanised chassis with a low centre of gravity which promotes stability in yard or paddock.
A 180L/min submersible pump is powered by a 12V motor which can be direct wired to a quad or tractor for continuous top-up; it is said to be quiet in operation around stock.
Stainless steel fittings are used throughout, and the units are supplied with a 9m delivery hose with a 342mm dispensing nozzle. For hygiene, an in-built tank wash system makes cleaning a breeze.
