Feed calves the easy way

With the calving season just around the corner many farmers will soon be doing their annual rounds of calf rearing duties.

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.
