Calf Feeders
DeLaval lamb & kid feeder LKF1200
With this feeder, you can save hours a day freeing you from the time-consuming task of hand-feeding. It also allows the animals to eat whenever they want. This reduces the risk of gorge feeding and bloating, resulting in better milk absorption and higher daily gains. The feeder can rear up to 240 animals, depending on the number of teats used and station type.
Small quantities of the milk are prepared, as required, so that portions are fresh and warm. (Temperature is programmable)
The boiler enables water to remain at the constant, selected temperature.
Water and milk powder portion size can be configured separately.
A fly screen door is included as standard.
